[quote=klozhald][quote=DamonLinkous]Wait, there are submarines in Idaho?[/quote]
During World War II, the south end was the second largest naval training ground in the world. Built as a result of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the training station is now Farragut State Park. The lake is still used by the Navy's Acoustic Research Detachment to test large-scale submarine prototypes: the significant depth gives acoustic properties similar to the open ocean. As it is inland, it is easier to keep secrets about the research.
While President Ford was in office, he had a relative who was stationed there and was busted for pot possession.
[quote=DamonLinkous]What difference does the depth make? Once the water is too deep to stand in then 10 feet or 10,000 is all the same. :-D [/quote]
It is a creepy dark lake.
Dark and deep.
Imagine yourself sinking for a very long time because you fell off without a life vest.
Dark and cold.
No one can hear you scream. :lol:
Check it out in Google Earth.
There is a seaplane base there too.
Even the bridge is creepy, it is long and turns in the middle.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by klozhald on Aug 12, 2014 - 08:00 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
