I drove down there today, jumped the fence when nobody was looking
and shot a bunch of photos. It's quite a sight. There is a huge amount
of water geysering out of the 75 year old (Hebgen Dam) syphon tube.
At the current rate, the lake will be empty (or at least down
to the bottom of the outflow tube) by the first of the year.
That seems to what they're waiting for now.....in other words,
hurry up and wait. Fix it next year. So we might have to buy
some pitch forks, for all those big browns in the soon-to-be-empty
lake. Actually I don't the think the bottom of the syphon tube actually
drains the lake. But there will be some very long steep and muddy banks
to Hebgen Lake next summer......I think.
