Title: Photos Of The Angry Falls By JoAnne Wilkins
Post by: Henry on July 25, 2008, 06:25:52 PM

Hi Henry.
I got some pictures of the water at the Fairfax Falls Dam. I could only get the water spray from a distance. The water at the bottom of the dam looked very angry, and smelled foul.

I just checked Stones Brook next to my house and it has risen about 4 feet in the last 8 hours. It is not a good sign when a nice sunny day has not brought about any receding of the water but it continues to rise higher and higher.  The water is about 2-3 feet from the top of the concrete underside of the new bridge. I would hate to think of the mess we would have if the culvert was still being used.

I recall seeing Jeff Blake working on that new bridge.  Anything Jeff is involved with, will be done huh...Well.  The new bridge will be just fine Judi!

I don't understand why you thought I was questioning the bridge at all, I was commenting on the water level! It is finally starting to recede today.
