Sorry to hear of another senseless ( sans life jacket) drowning.    None of these would happen if the swimmers used even a little smarts and donned a life jacket.

 

A side question-- where does it stop being Lake Natoma and it is only the American River ?


Another great  day in the adventure of exploration and sight.

Are you wondering if the body found in the American River this afternoon might be the guy? I am, though I figured the Nimbus Dam would prevent that

I am not wondering- a previous poster was --That is one heck of a long way for a body to go from the rainbow bridge to the dam.

They found the girl's body this morning near the beach at Negro Bar.  Emergency people removed her. 

 

to the other question.  lake natoma is everything upstream of NImbus Dam.  the american river is everything downstream to the Sacto River.

It was a young man, 23 years old.  Please tell me there wasn't another drowning.

See above. It was a male. The initial report I heard about a girl was incorrect.

Scary that he was in a fairly populated area. Would have been sad if a kid had discovered him. Many of us are out in that area often.
