Sierra Madre Canyon Dam (A photo per month)

[Mark Sedenquist]

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.)

Lots of progress so far today

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!
