Sierra Madre Canyon Dam (A photo per month)

I thought--mostly for my own interest perhaps--that I would start this thread capturing and displaying the progress of digging out the debris field piled against the Sierra Madre Canyon Dam. I will post a photo on the last Friday of each month (or as near to that as I can, since I didn't start this in February when the debris overflowed the top of the dam.)

Quite an amazing sum of dirt and rock has been removed thus far.

**** Presumably, this is will be near the eventual depth once again:

This was taken on January 29, 2025 and before the rains came it was about 50 feet deeper!
