I received a press release about a new book "The Dragon in the
Lake" by Archie Eschborn. The book is all about a pyramid that has
been found at the bottom of Rock Lake in Wiscon. Eschborn lead a team
of divers to study the stone structure last year. Sounds interesting,
but, not interesting enough to drive out Wisc. this summer. Anyone dove
Rock Lake? Anything to the pyramid story?

I read a book a few years back about the pyramids of Rock Lake. As I
recall, the whole book was about exploring the pyramids, their possible
history, and much speculation. I don't remember the name of the book. My
sister told me about it and it was her copy of the book I read. I've dove
there a few times without seeing the pyramids. You need to know where they
are located and probably need a boat. If I recall, the explorers in the
book were doing ice dives while for better water clarity.

Is it just me, or do these guys seem to be going about this in the most
complicated manner possible? Given the poor vis of the lake, and the
fact that these pyramids can occasionally be seen from the surface, one
would expect the pyramids are not very deep. The have GPS coordinates,
and the lake freezes over. So instead of doing helicopter searches with
differential GPS (like they need <30' accuracy to find these things) why
don't they wait for the lake to freeze, walk to their known GPS
coordinates, cut a hole through the ice, and send down a diver? Vis
will be better, surface support is dead easy, and underwater
mapping/photography of these structures wouldn't be all that hard...

Seems reasonable, that is how we would do it up here in Kanuckistan. Maybe
we should go down there and help out.
