and islands need to know about safetyand outdoor activity? Is given the conditions
on the rivers and folks have heardit here on KFA B the Missouri River,
stay off of and away from theMissouri River. That goes without saying,
But the plat and the elk cornsstay off of the platte in the

(00:22):
ilk Cock. Yeah, they arebank full with debris, sandbars are covered,
and our de axises are closed.I mean, why do we have
to say it, But we dohave to say it. The plat in
the ilk Corn and they're going tostay high as well into the fourth of
July holiday stretch, no doubt.And what about lakes well, lakes,
reservoirs and ponds. You can expecttougher launching conditions. You can expect high

water, you can expect a lotof debris floating there. It's going to
be tougher as well, and tougherwith smaller craft too, gary with kayaks
and stand up paddle boards because you'vegot logs floating and everything else. So
extreme caution on the lakes, reservoirsand ponds. But we got water at

drought anymore. Good words there fromGreg. Greg Terry had that I had
them this morning about how there'll beincreased enforcement on boating under the influence over
the fourth of July holiday weekend,and I got this email. I'm not
sure you know the answer to thisspecific is pretty specific question. Ryan says.
The legal blood alcohol m is pointo eight, but it's zero if

you have a CDL. Does thatapply to the water too, to boating?
Do you happen to know? Idon't know that one, okay,
But essentially what you're looking at withb UY is the same as duy.
It's the same. A's point oeight, it's all that's all the same,
and that's what we're going to beenforcing with consumers for this weekend.
Ryan, if I had to guess, I would guess that it would be

(01:52):

apply to boating, right, Yep.
