This is a family Blog so notice that there is no "n" on that title which would be a word I try not to say! However, our entire extended family has had a ball talking about the 'Dam Hill" and the "Dam Road" which have recently opened up after a long period of of reconstruction.
The dam is located at the end of this more than 200 acre lake. It was determined that it did meet meet the requirements to hold back the lake in the event of a 500 year flood. I am not sure that any dam could meet those requirements! Inconveniences ensued which turned out to be a better situation then ever for the residents of the other side of the dam when it was closed for almost two years!
The engineering is amazing and quite a sight to see.
The lake had to be dropped 10-12 feet all around it while the work was done which negatively impacted the beach, but now it is better than ever and ready for swimming! Hot D---!
