Oh, hey there, what's this, a crack in that damn dam?

Nice! Let the river flow and Glen Canyon reemerge into the sunlight after decades of being hidden under Lake Fowell! 😍

And ya, Lake Fowell is down 165 feet from full pool. See the light colored "bathtub ring" behind the dam?

(Yes, this is a composite image. The photo is from Tuesday. I composited a crack onto the dam. If only...)

Here's a photo of the Lake Fowell side of that damn dam in Page, Arizona, this afternoon. According to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, at "The end of January elevation and storage of Lake Powell were 3,535.02 feet (165.0 feet from full pool) and 6.14 million acre-feet (maf) (26 percent of live capacity), respectively."

Back in the '80s, we all thought it would fill with sediment and become a waterfall--lol--nope.
