Wife and I ran up to Elsinore(smellsomemore) yesterday late afternoon just to get in a quick test run on the new boat...hadn't been to that lake in many years. I know the green is from alge but holly cow, it wasn't in the least appealing to touch. Anyone else local that dares to put their bodies into this PeaSoup? Felt like we were on a strange planet.LOL
So we just sweated it out and ran home to shower after several windblown sprays of green water. yuk

I myself went there in winter time to break in the boat a few times. Never touched the water. yuk

We went to Puddingstone a few months ago to do some testing on our boat and I am pretty sure there are some dead bodies on the bottom of that pond. That or a sewer empties out into it. I had to get my feet wet to put the boat on the trailer and I took a hydrogen peroxide shower after i felt so nasty.

We brave the green slime all the time. Its pretty icky but not dangerous. Just always shower when ya leave that place.

LOL.... the water at smellslikehellsenior is fine. The algea can be gross, but is not bad for you. There is a group of homeopathic's that come to soak in the algea blooms every year as they claim the algea clenses the pores.
I have been going to elsinore on almost a weekly basis for 8 years. I have actually grown attached to the third eye I have grown on the back of my head smile_sp .
Read the bacteria counts and you will find smellmyhole is one of the cleanest lakes in CA.

Algae is usually caused by too much fertilizer runoff from yards and farms. It can ruin the water quality, especially if it is used for drinking water supply.

I was cruisin' across Elsinore and the girls kept looking at the ugly, smelly, green wake,,, and I knew that was it,, were just out boating this day.
Never pulled the wakeboards off the rack.

Explain that to the dead fish :D eek! :D . I know we must have done a few bass-o-matics (old SNL skit, remember?) thru the jet of my buddies Sanger last time we went there. Pretty nasty yuk .
