For sure! PUD could trade Goodfellows some property somewhere else that they could actually USE, and PUD could make the fingers a park! Win Win. I have always thought it would be cool for a waterfront restaurant with marina... but at this point, with all the building, I think I'd like to see it a park. A Park! For sure!

I'm sure they'll be more lawsuits as more and more businesses try to plant roots here. Those lawyers are going to need a place to stay and I doubt they'll want to shack up in Manson/Chelan with the Westside transplants. Or maybe Al Gore could set up some kind of "Global Warming" interpretive center there. We need some interpretation on that fairy tale in a bad way since no one is listening to the real scientists and what they have to say about this natural cycle. Tee hee!

Putting anything on them is pointless. All your going to do by putting anything on the fingers is cause heartache and discontent for everyone around. Putting highrises and condo's will block the view for people coming into chelan, not to mention the parking issue that it will cause on that road. Besides like we need any more condo's or big building in you small town, which is by the way fading away (little town) that is. So just leave them be. Why not just leave them as they are.

That particular post from bigdreamgirl should be eliminated and it is so frustrating to hear such ignorant and senseless talk on a community oriented message board. Getting back to the intent of the discussion, I’ve always imagined the fingers as a great place to boat, bus, bike, paddle or float ( eliminating the need to set aside property to pave for parking ) and enjoy the views and water access. Perhaps just add a few docks, rope off a swimming area, add a few restrooms, bike racks, basic covered picnic tables and a few bbq’s.

I hope that's true, however, it would be nice to know that someone with some expertise had checked it out. I have been back to MillBay and it is still all there, although, now that the water has come up some, there are not the "pools" at the bottom of the boat launches that had the oil slick looking stuff. It still smells pretty bad down there, and if the wind is right, you can smell what I mean just by driving by with your window down out on the highway. I was just reading thru everything again, and realized that really there's lots of speculation, and educated guessing, but no real answers. I hope the dialogs and sharing of information continues.

Somewhere on the site there should be a monument to the irresponsibility of the 4th finger people, who disregarded the impact their fill would have on Wilber/Green. Though my memory may have fogged, I recall that the resulting court ruling adversely affected the ability of other frontage owners to place even modest fill in front of their properties. No condos--we have enough view blocking exclusive erections. Make them into a park.

Where would you dispose of that dirt? I think the Port of Chelan County & the City of Chelan should team up with Chelan PUD and dream a little themselves. Maybe make it a National Park! Taken out!!!

What a great topic. I think my favorite would to have them taken out, like the fourth finger was. If they were gone, it would be nearly impossible to block that view! Wow! What a great topic.

Lord knows we don't have enough as it is. I am sure that the more real estate sales people we have, the more property can be sold at great profits!!! The fact that its one of the last public views of the lake matters little now. To build parks and areas of public acccess to our wonderful lake would be ludicris!!! Besides, there's money to be made by poor starving lawyers who actually run this state. TALL real estate buildings is what we need in that clear area!!! Who's with me???

The only one that can tackle the legal issues is a governmental entity. The City of Chelan should buy it and convert it into a park. It's only a matter of time before you cant even see the lake unless you own a condo. Yuck, where did this pretty little town go Isn’t it obvious?
