That be Fork Peck dam Fred. Its an engineering wonder in my book. It's made from shale and clay. Hungry Horse dam is concrete. 4th largest in the US. It's about 5 miles upstream from my front door as the crow flies. My front door is 11 feet above the 500 year flood plane. Hungry Horse dam has the highest spillway in the world. It's amazing to watch it disperse the overflow through it's "glory hole"
Good luck Fred.Hey FOG thanks for the wiring diagram got it all wired in and gonna have to put the battery power to the car here soon and see how many wires fry..

The world could end tonight and I'd still be wiring Mike. lol

That looks like a young Gene Winfield
Yea maybe when he was younger! He is 92 .
Yea that's a big basterd for sure.
Here is a pic of the discharge from being over full. It's 15000 cubic feet per second. Dam does 25000 on the generator without the overflow.

I can't find a pic of the Hungry Horse dam's "glory hole" but here is a video of one a lot like it.
I used to have a good video myself.

Not a good fishing hole I would think but could get a hell of a shower.
Would be a good place to check out.
Would love to show it to ya. That and some other attractions. It's real eerie seeing that dam from the bottom. Driving the top is cool (they call it a bridge) but it's just weird when you drive along this nice little river drive and run into that huge wall of concrete. My Dad helped build it. It is over 300 feet thick at the base.
Hell of a drain hole.
Your dad did good that's thick enough to hold a lot of water back.
Curious on what kind of damage it would create if it broke.
If it broke real fast it would be catastrophic for sure. You could kiss my *** goodbye.
Kinda figured the valley would be under water real fast and not much warning I guess.
I don't know what it would be like on the down river end of the valley but It would definitely suck at my house. We had a hell of a flood here in 1964. That place we first tried to have lunch at this summer was probable up to it's door knobs in water. My house would have been safe. Barely
I guess I should feel lucky I'm high and dry here but you have a great view there and would guess your tap water is real good.
My water is good. Hard but tastes good. Little high in Ph.
The well water here is real high in salt and some wells have natural gas coming out the sink not real bad but there.
You blame that on fracking?
