Went fishing there twice but didn't catch anything. Liked the location, though!

Dying trees everywhere.  No insects, birds, animals.  The entire region has death written all over it.  The city and county leaders ignore the tree, plant deaths and blame it on insects, yet there are no insects anywhere - including in the trees.
