Lakes, Lakes, Disappearing
Personal memory by blake pingel

I remember while growing up in wisconsin, all the lakes that we had around (approx. 15,000). Over the years, the rain and snow has been less than average. Some lakes have all but dried up, others, are on there way there. The one that sticks with me the most is the the lake my grandparents live on. It is one of the best fishing lakes I've fished on in my life. Every year the lake recedes a little bit which saddens me. I hope one day we can come together as people to fix this planet we live on.
