Thread: Rickie & I went dam hunting today

Outstanding!

Great snapshots. Y'all did a good job.

I was going to post a couple from my trip this afternoon but after seeing these, I will wait a couple of days.

Post'em up Don, I'm not going to beat on ya.

So the outside wall was just 3' or so wide...

And the dam itself was a "spillover" type dam..

And the wingwall upstream of the south gates doesn't angle out toward the center of the river as much as we thought..

Rickie I'm going to guess that it probably only held 4-6' of water back and in high water the boats just went over the dam like the old dams on the Ohio. These dams were for navigational purposes only, not to help with flooding control like the high dams we have now.

You guys must know somebody. Every time I says dam, I get black stars????

Some of the best I've seen.

Only when you use "dam" as an adjective .... these guys are using "dam" as a noun

And there is NO "N" in the word "dam" (can't tell you how many times I've seen people talk about a dam ... and put the letter N on the end of it )
