Log cabin wreck dive?


The historic Pioneer Homestead log cabin at Shadow Rock Park has been underwater for more than two months, but divers have determined, so far, damage is minimal.

Scuba divers Mark and Amanda George searched the murky water near the cabin to inspect flood damage. Mark George’s assessment of the cabin was encouraging to Forsyth City Supervisor Chris Robertson, who plans to restore the log cabin when the water recedes.

“It’s been under several floods,” Robertson said. “Flooded tree trunks will survive under water for a long time without oxygen. We’ll know after the water goes down about how much, if any, damage the cabin has had.”

George said there was a bit of separation showing between the wall and the fireplace, but the remainder of the wood was in good condition...[Branson Daily News}
