I am really wondering what spring runoff will do to this. Hopefully the backed up water releases slowly and not all at once. I would hate to see this become a real disaster for everything and everyone down river.
Ard, the cost of anything done by national forest, state game depts, or any other government entity, has always floored me. I think they ought to just take a little time and let nature finish whatever it is going to do.
Of course if I was in charge, I would be so impatient I would blast the heck out of the whole mountain just to make sure it was done moving!
