Well, with the vis so bad in the sound right now... Anybody up for a Sat trip to Lake crescent??

That sounds like a great idea! I have wanted to try it. But I think I am going to Keystone Sat. Vis. should not be too bad there.

I have always wanted to dive there, so I might be up for it.

Tried to go last weekend but it was a cluster trying to get everyone on the same page.

Clear Lake here in Mount Vernon has an old steam train engine that went off a trestle and is sitting on the bottom covered with Bluegill and Bass. Anyone heard of this?

Details! I'd be up for it.

How is the vis? The only thing fun about diving in Lake Crescent is the clear water... not much to see.

Here is some good info on what to dive:

Sounds pretty cool to me.

A dude I took sailing a couple of times told me about it. He lives right by it. I will ask him if he can put us on it. It's a boat dive or a long swim.

Count me in for that. I can also bring my boat if it helps.

wait are we doing this at clear lake?

This post was originally for today. Now that today's gone by, I'm going to try to find exact coordinates for the old locomotive, and then create a new post to schedule a dive there.

Stay tuned...

Digging up old thread and doesn't look like onasphere has been on NWDC in a long time.

Anyone have any info on the train supposedly in Clear Lake?

Nope.. The only train in a lake, is lake stevens , but its un 60 feet of mud... If you go to the historic center next to the lkstvns Library you can see the Army Corps of Engineers scan of the train

there is an old railroad trestle in Lake Cushman at about 190ft.

there I did your home work ....

my best advice is to call the Historical society , and get true Hard facts ...But it would appear to the rail road maps the train tracks went next to the lake , and not over the lake ..
