Will this finally end the debate over Wauhop? Every time it comes up I’m more confused than ever.
Hi Willow, thank you for your comment. Kris Kauffman will be talking about Lake Wauhop, but will probably not completely answer your quality question due to the many issues associated with the past use of the lake by the State Hospital and its early farm operations, etc. Hope you have an opportunity to attend Kris’s talk, thanks again for your comment.
