Quite a Sight at Site 1 2011-04-22 - Site 1 Recreation Area - Photo by Lawrence Hamilton. Lawrence writes, "As I write this, the houseboat pictured has caused quite a sight for onlookers. It tried to make the turn into Site 1 at the Green River Dam and found itself embedded in mud on both sides. It happened at approximately 6pm, Friday evening and from the looks of it, it might be a while before the entrance is open again." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Red Lab Sam home. Fred happy. Victoria out of another scrape 2011-04-22 - Photo by Kenny Bennett. All's right with the world The Big Smile on Ms. Victoria's face is the relief she had when a well-meaning gesture gone awry took a sharp turn to a Mayberry ending. When Sam, the giant Red Lab, showed up at her place on Thursday, she had told a Good Samaritan that she thought Sam might not have a home, and the good Samaritan took the Sam away. Soon after, Fred Sexton came looking for the dog. Fortunately, Ms. Victoria put out an APB for the the Good Samaritan, with a plea for him to bring the dog back. He did, and the Happy Ending - the reunion of the Big Red Lab Sam and Fred Sexton and Sam's little buddy Sally - took place at Ms. Victoria Pike's home today.
