Here are a few pictures submitted by a reader. These photos are a great example of the current scene. The last two pictures are of the spillway at Pathfinder Reservoir. The 2nd is from the top of the dam looking down and the 3rd is from the right side of the canyon looking across to the spillway. Yes that is the spillway! Engineers in 1910 made sure they had a natural spillway that wouldn't compromise the dam structure. Pathfinder dam is constructed of granite blocks. The 1st photo is looking down the head of Miracle Mile from a vantage on Kortes Dam. This photo gives you an idea of how much water is being released from Kortes. If you compare the photo from the BLOG post a few days ago that is looking up the head of Miracle Mile towards Kortes Dam you can get a good idea of what it is like. Notice on the view toward Kortes Dam the size of the trucks and backhoe to the height of the water below. This is something you should see for yourself. Thanks for submitting these great shots! I would be happy to credit the photographer if they want me to. Click photos for a larger image. Erik
