TANSOR, England -- In the land of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie, it has fallen to a taxidermist to uncover whether foul play is to blame for the corpse found floating in a lake here late last month: Benson, the legendary 52-pound carp whose untimely death has captivated a nation's anglers.

For years, Benson was a catch-and-release attraction in Bluebell Lakes, a private fishing complex. Benson was a normal-size carp when she was placed in Kingfisher Lake 16 years ago. The lakes' owner, Tony Bridgefoot, noticed Benson's propensity to pack on the pounds and groomed her for stardom. ]]>

The Misurina rink (La pista di Misurina) was the location of the speed skating events. This was the last time that speed skating at the Olympics was held on natural ice. It was the farthest venue from Cortina at 13 km (9 miles). The rink was established at the northern end of the lake with a mountain backdrop. Stands were constructed to accommodate 8,500 people.

This 267 acre manmade lake was formed in 1927 as part of the creation of the Wisconsin Dells resort area following the Great Depression. The lake features resorts and luxury homes along it's shores. It was also home to the Tommy Bartlett's water skiing show and offered scenic boat and amphibious Duck tours.

Several days of heavy rain in 2008 led to the washing out a section of land along the northern shore, creating a new channel that caused the lake to drain into the nearby Wisconsin River. Television cameras captured dramatic scenes of homes being torn from their foundations and being carried down the river.

Plans are underway to repair the washed out shoreline with hopes that the lake will be refilled before the 2009 tourism season begins. Volunteers have taken advantage of the situation by removing trash from the lakebed.]]>

Starting in the late 1800s mining industry set up around Searles Dry Lake to mine borax. Trona was officially established in 1913, as a self-contained company town, wholly operated by its resident mining company to house employees.

"20 Mule-Team Borax" came from Trona.

From Damn Interesting:

On November 21, 1980 an oil drilling crew punctured the top of an underground salt dome of the Blue Diamond salt mine.

A giant whirlpool formed. It swallowed another nearby drilling platform whole, as well as a barge loading dock, 70 acres of soil from Jefferson Island, trucks, trees, structures, and a parking lot. The sucking force was so strong that it reversed the flow of a 12-mile-long canal which led out to the Gulf of Mexico, and dragged 11 barges from that canal into the swirling vortex, where they disappeared into the flooded mines below.

After three hours, the lake was drained of its 3.5 billion gallons of water. The water from the canal, now flowing in from the Gulf of Mexico, formed a 150-foot waterfall into the crater where the lake had been, filling it with salty ocean water.

Within two days, what had previously been an eleven-foot-deep freshwater body was replaced with a 1,300-foot-deep saltwater lake.]]>

From 1963 to 1998 Goode Airport in Southlake was a popular small community airfield with a paved runway just over 3100 feet in length and approximately 20 hangars, all on a property that was no more than 500 feet wide!

Encroachment by suburban development in the 1990s resulted in Goode Airport's closure in 1998 and this remnant remained well into 2005 just southeast of the intersection of Southlake Blvd and Davis Blvd.

As of 2005 the remnant has been demolished to make way for a soccer complex. In the LL photos, you can see the northern end of what was once Runway 17/35, the turn around at the end, a taxiway and the impressions on the vegetation left by the hangars long since demolished.]]>

Skipsea Castle is a Norman Motte and Bailey castle located south of Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, England on the B1249 road at Skipsea Brough. All that remains visible today are the earthworks, having been destroyed by the order of Henry III of England

Skipsea Castle was built in and around 1086, in the years following the Norman Conquest by Drogo de la Bouerer, the First Earl of Holderness, in order to defend against Viking raids. He is related to William the Conqueror through marriage to William's cousin, and participated in the Norman Invasion of England. For this, William the Conqueror placed Drogo's name on the "immortal Roll of Honour of Battle Abbey at Senlac or Hasting", and rewarded Drogo with "so-called 'isle' of Holderness".

Although Drogo built the castle, he eventually fled back to Flanders because death of his wife whom he "unhappily killed". Drogo's hasty flight out of England has given rise to the legend that "Drogo murdered his wife by giving her a poison draught which he led her to believe was a love potion. He then rode a fast horse to the king's court, borrowed a large sum of money from William and took ship to the continent before news of his deeds could reach the court. The ghost of a 'lady in white' is said to haunt Castle Hill".

In the 13th century, William de Froz II, Lord of Holderness rebelled against the king. As a result, in 1221 William de Froz II was excommunicated and Skipsea Castle was destroyed. Eventually, William de Froz II reconciled with King Henry III in 1227. Skipsea Castle was returned to William de Froz II, but without any defences. According to local historians, "the gap in the earthwork known as the Scotch Gap is evidence of this".]]>

Lake Delores / Rock-a-Hoola / Discovery Water Park
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2007-03-07 19:16:55
Lake Delores is the original, given name of the man-made lake(s) and the surrounding site where stands a still physically-existent yet currently inoperative waterpark on Hacienda Road in the desert town of Newberry Springs, San Bernardino County, California, USA. When last open to the general public, the park itself went by the relatively recent and updated name(s) Rock-a-Hoola/Discovery Water Park.

Owned, conceived, designed, built, and subsequently operated by a local businessman -- the late John Byers -- the original park's initial, primary intent was to function as nothing more than a basic, "no-frills" private desert campground adjacent to a small man-made lake for the combined purposes of "off-road racing" over and about the surrounding desert terrain, coupled with the requisite comfort, rest, and relaxation by and for its paying guests. Mainly suited for weekend and holiday use by desert and off-road motorcycle racing ("motocross" AKA "MX") enthusiasts, over several years and for various situational, family, and economic reasons, the park grew in popularity as it gradually morphed into an attraction which became considerably more broad in scope than the park designer's original vision had first intended.

Entering the New Millennium with high-hopes and a complete makeover -- now in its second incarnation as a waterpark -- Lake Delores/Rock-A-Hoola/Discovery Waterpark and the park's new owners experienced several major setbacks. As a result, the park opened and closed several times. In 2003, Olympic Gold Medalist and former NFL All-Pro Wide Receiver Ron Brown (Oakland Raiders, St.Louis Rams) led a distinguished group of former and current professional athletes -- a fraternal/business organization known as the "Pro Players Network" -- in a reportedly serious attempt to purchase the park and turn it into a fun, creative, sports, and educational activity camp for underpriveliged children. At this point, however -- reportedly running into several roadblocks -- these plans appear to be in somewhat of a "holding pattern". The park was last open to the general public on an intermittent and relatively part-time basis during the summer of 2004.

As of this writing, the waterslides and attractions of Lake Dolores/Rock-A-Hoola/Discovery Water Park are clearly visible from Interstate 15, sixteen miles northeast of Barstow, California, just past the mid-way point from downtown Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Nevada. The future of the park, as well as the immediate, surrounding acreage, is currently the subject of major discussion, debate, and rumor within the local community. From a physical standpoint, the site itself is now patrolled by guard dogs but appears to be well-maintained and in excellent condition.]]>

Khanka Lake (Russian: о́зеро Ха́нка; Traditional Chinese: 興凱湖, Simplified Chinese: 兴凯湖, pinyin: Xingkai Lake), is a transboundary water body located on the border between Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China and Russia (at 45°0′N 132°25′E). It is situated 120 km from Jixi. The area of the lake is 4,190 km² of which 3,030 km² are located in Russia, and 1,160 km²—in China. The area around the lake is an important wetland habitat and forms a National Nature Reserve on the Chinese side and the Khanka Lake Nature Reserve on the Russian side. It is a remarkable site for nature protection, eco-tourism as well as scientific research (concerning bird migrations). The lake area located on Chinese territory belongs to the Chinese government and is exploited by collective farms or state farms for fishery, agriculture and livestock raising. (wikipedia.com)]]>
