Pokegama has been respected by my family for 80 years..it can be a beast. Many have drowned in my lifetime. Wear a life jacket. Stay off the water in high winds..there are many areas of 2-4 miles of open water on Pokeg..it is my heaven on earth but it can be a tempest with 4 foot waves.

I cringed when I read that headline, since I had family who were on Pokegema this past weekend.

The names of the two people are incorrect in this story. Nathan was the second one found the next day. Mr. Hermaston was found the first night.

Thanks Judy for clearing that up! The more important thing about this article was that 2 men drown saving the life of a young boy. Geeeez, I'm happy the world has true hearted people like Judy to clear up mis-facts!

Did you even read the article?

It's a lake and it's got nothing to do with the Japanese children's animated Pokemon.
