well we already have the cabin and boat booked for and paid for. so not going is not an option <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

i, too, queried the mercury in lake thing on google. and i came up with specifics about not eating the fish- but the same scientist who said that also said in the same article that it was okay to swim in the water- because mercuy is at the bottom of the lake (since it's a metal and it's heavy- it sinks) and that the fish have higher concentrations of it. i could not find info anywhere stating that it would be bad to go in the water.

intuitively i feel otherwise. but i am trying to be objective here and not see potential danger in everything and anything. i think i am driving my boyfriend crazy with all the energy i am giving to this mercury poisoning issue- and i don't want to become a hypochondriac about it, ya know?

guess i will arrive there today and get a 'feeling' about whether or not i want to go in the water. i am definitely bringing bottled drinking water for sure. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
