One justification is the lake is low, a lot drop than it usually is and if we don't get any rain, the berth is going to get a lot worse. The Lake Conroe overt park is a careful barometer for business. And on Labor Day, cars were lined up to get in -- exclude not as many cars and not as many visitors on a characteristic Labor Day Monday. As of mid-day, there were about 850. "As many as 3,000 (normally).
About a third; it's very off," said Deputy Mitch Dietrich of the Montgomery County Precinct 5. That's an understatement. It's about as off as the ditch-water levels that have been declining from the drought and more recently, from Houston's increased confidence on Lake Conroe water. Where boats conclusively docked at lakeside restaurants, they're now dock on widening beaches.
Stairs have been installed to climb dow a descend up to docks and decks, and on a epoch when the lake would be dotted with watercraft, there wasn't much. "It's Labor Day weekend, on the whole you dream of a lot of boats out here. Not at all (today)," said Laura Gamboa.
After weeks of blistering heat, the rise above turned acceptable on the lake Monday. It was a great period for entertainment and picnics, and without the crowds, that surprised the visitors who were here. "Probably because the drought and the insufficiency of rain," said Zulma Barranco.
We're not implying that it's a spirit town, but it's not a bourgeoning city on Labor Day either.
