Bill,

No I don't think they have found Hoffa yet but the town of Hemet should be just about ready to come out of the water. In 1977 people were going into the old buildings and getting plates and silverware as when the Govt. bought it, the people left a lot of their stuff and just moved. I saw some of the plates and cups that people got and they were worth quite a bit as they were made of the old China. And one building that had been some kind of shop still had the old machines in it, all rusted of course. Actually I am hoping that it won't get that far down this time as the water situation is now much worse than back in 1977. They have 5 times as many people around here now as they did then.

Steve,

Even the fish have panicked and I think they have all moved down near the dam. I saw in the paper that the Salmon run this year was the lowest in history and that they only had about 1/4th the normal amount that made the swim from the ocean. You can see the Sacramento River in those canyon shots and how it isn't much more than a stream. All that keeps it a river on down below the dams is what they are letting out.
