Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings and others climbed the tree, observing the other side with a telescope.
Around Swan Lake, there were six or seven tents set up.
People were coming in and out, and their voices were not loud.
There was a hovercraft by the lake, and another boat in the center of the lake, with ropes and cables going down from the boat, still swaying.
About ten minutes later, a diver emerged from the water, said a few words to the people on the boat, and then dived back into the water.
Although Swan Lake is not as big as it was when its water level suddenly rose, it is still several times larger than when Sean first saw it.
Some trees were still half-submerged in the water, and the leaves on the lower half had long been nibbled away by fish, leaving only the bare, gnawed branches.
Even so, fish would occasionally jump up to bite the leaves above the water.
"I really didn't expect it to be Native Americans!"
Elijah Hastings whispered next to him.
