I dropped down 219 again and got a better picture of the remains of the South Fork Dam. You can see the observation decks on both sides in this picture. There's one on each end of the dam remains, with the old lakebed behind. The water was up to the top of the dam when it gave way, so that gives you an idea of just how much water there was.

And I stopped where the old ship hotel was and looked around. Lots of debris scattered down the mountain side, still some burnt timbers and lots of twisted metal mostly.

Saw a Ford wrecker truck a little farther down the hill.

Don't see this much anymore- a pay phone!

Another Ford.

Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Very interesting articles! Thanks for the post.
