That's Shaver? Wow. At the very least go in the back and clean up on tackle.

So they must be upgrading the dam?

From an October 17 article on the Fresno Bee site (there's a video clip there too) http://www.fresnobee.com/2011/10/17/2580843/draining-of-shaver-lake-exposes.html

Shaver Lake is low and getting lower by the day as crews prepare to put a protective liner on the bottom half of its concrete dam.

The draining of the Sierra lake reached a historic point: The original rock-fill dam is now visible for the first time since the statewide drought of the late 1970s.

The old dam, built in 1893 by lumberman C.B. Shaver, sits about 500 yards southeast of the modern dam and is visible from turnouts along Highway 168.

That's as close as the public will be allowed to get to the historic Old Mill Pond that formed behind the original dam. Lake operator Southern California Edison is restricting access to the exposed lakebed, both for public safety reasons and also to protect archaeological and cultural sites, company region manager Bill DeLain said.

Shaver Lake has not been drained to streambed levels since the concrete dam's completion in 1927. It will reach that level by the end of the month.

I liked the Colorado comment. Some time back the Denver water board decided the dam on Dillon Reservoir was a prime target for terrorism. Then they caught two guys filming a music video on the dam and shut the road down across it. The road across the dam allows traffic between Dillon and Frisco without having to get on I-70. Average of about 5,000 cars or so a day. Well after much wrangling, it's back open now. No trucks, rv's or towed trailers are allowed across. There are manned checkpoints at each end but you don't have to stop. There are drop down and pop up barriers in place. They also allowed the bike path to stay open. I'll try to get some pics. I've taken pics of the lake from near the dam, but did notice if I moved closer towards the dam the security guards perked up. The water in the reservoir belongs to Denver, but we are allowed to fish and boat in the lake. And p*ss in it, too. As far as I know that's ok.

Sad, they will protect the artifacts under water for who?

Until they rot away.
