He again emphasized that the nearby mountains and lake swallow up so many lost and injured victims is because those using the lake and mountain as a source of recreation overestimate their own capabilities and underestimate the elements of Mother Nature. TOO OFTEN they dont use good judgement and are not prepared. They think they can row across the lake in a canoe and hike over the mountain in a pair of shorts and tennis shoes, the commander concluded. - LAKEWOOD Investment requested a zoning change from R18 to RM for acre of ground at 1350 E.
