The next man-made
structure along Dunbar Creek is a Diversion Dam
that was wiped-out by a storm a few years back.
It was constructed to keep the stream from
changing course and threatening the road, but
heavy winter snows and rains combined to wash it
out. The same storms corrected the problem naturally, by dropping trees across the developing
wayward channel and developing a flotsam
diversion dam that returned the stream to its original course. |
