Flatwood Lake, Montana. I was looking at some nice pictures. I believe they said the average depth is around 165'. Max is around 370'. It's so clear that it looks like just a few feet. Look at those beautiful logs down there.

If you do the geometry based on camera angle and the air mattress shadow, she is in less than ten feet of water right there. That makes those logs about average.  :)

Yeah the shadow is a give away. I wonder, though, why are they so straight, no limbs and look so well preserved. Makes you wonder what is in the deep water.

Den - Just wonderiing - I think the name of the lake is Flathead Lake, near Kalispell MT. Logs are straigth cuz most likely softwood conifers of western larch, douglas fir and ponderosa pine.
Lake was the sorting and storage for old turn of centry logging on adjacent rivers. Logs are now being salvaged and are condsidered to be 250 + yrs old

Good to see them salvaged. It looks a lot easier than fighting crocs for sinker Cypress.  :)

All truth passes through three stages:
   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

Since they are sawing them there must be a market for the wood.  Around here you can't give away blue pine since there have been so many fires and lots of damaged trees.   The Doug Fir has been used in floors so has some more value.  Hope they are able to make their operation a go.

It may be just blue pine but I've dried salvaged hardwoods. The colors are incredible. Furniture makers keep the slabs separated by log to make the colors match.
