Monticello Dam drain hole-California

Postby avalen » Sun May 04, 2014 8:07 am

I find this both interesting and scary, and if I'm ever in the Napa Valley, I'm gonna be one of those people standing at the fence
just looking in awe. The website also shows a picture of it under construction, which made it easier for me to visualize where the
water goes.
