    Fran...
    I had no idea this started way back in 1931...I've always heard how valuable it is to the area.

    Unbelievable that it has revealed all those things like tires and boats...even skeletons.

    Hopefully human beings will be able to keep it going and not disappear for 2 years.

    I suppose if no one man's it...the area would flood.

      Fran:  from your article: "In 2005, a bypass bridge was constructed 1500 miles downstream of the dam..."

      Sure you didn't mean 1500 feet? 1500 miles would be somewhere in Mexico!

          Funny, isn't it, how more eyes catch more?  I enjoyed your article; my wife and I visited the Dam several years ago, and drove over that bridge doing so.
