I believe this is the last navigation bulletin issued by the Corps of 
Engineers on August 7, 2007.

Good afternoon:   We have been reading the postings about the Okeechobee 
area with interest as we are currently on the Loop.  We have heard of the 
low water on the Okeechobee, but no one has commented about whether the 
locks are open.
Someone mentioned to me verbally that if the lake levels were extremely low, 
that the locks would not be used b/o loss of water in the FL water table.
Is this true?  Thanks, Kathie & Doug on the Winnie W
