Many times when I look at the search criteria in the statistics for this site, there is someone wanting to know the water temperature of Lake Tapps. My neighbor has a pool thermometer hanging off of the dock in the first 6 inches of water, so today I went and looked. The water temperature read 70 degrees- nice! That is even with the weather being quite a bit cooler than yesterday’s upper 80′s.

In another type of lake temperature, last weekend was the 4th of July. Independence Day usually happens to be one big party on the lake. This year was no exception. There was a lot going on in my cove so I decided at the last minute to experiment with shooting some video footage with a borrowed camera. The camera has a telephoto zoom lens. Here’s some fun, test footage that I shot and then edited.
