Drive Up To Smithville

[APKape]

Took a drive up to Smithville on lunch to see how iced up the lake was. All-in-all, not bad. The main lake is all open. This weekend is going to be some nice fishing. Took some pictures. Descriptions in order of pictures.

The spillway is still kicking out a lot of water.

Thanks guys. Glad the report/pics helped. My sidekick didn't like the cold too much. She got out, walked around a bit, then started shivering. She's quite the spoiled princess.
