this was alot of fun now the rubicon and moab sounds like a blast
i can't wait and dam was awsome to see flowing

[GrizzlyGuy]

That second shot is unbelievably cool. At first I thought a tsunami was coming up behind you! Or maybe crop the end of the dam out of the third one and it would really look like you're outrunning the big wave.

Definitely a cool place!

In case you are interested in history:

The US Army Corps of Engineers-owned 24-foot-high Daguerre Point Dam on the Yuba River was built in 1906 to prevent hydraulic mining debris from washing into the Feather and Sacramento Rivers. The dam was equipped with two fish ladders in 1937 that Chinook salmon and steelhead have difficulty, under certain flow conditions, locating and navigating. The dam was rebuilt in 1964 following damage from floods. The dam currently provides hydraulic head for upstream diversions.

i thought this was for fish but i was not sure i seen somthing like
in roseburg orgen at the fish hatchery was pretty cool place
i didn't know they were called fish ladders

atv riders know alot of stuff i never would of thought of but yes hemi grey i love histroy i have reserched the alasken highway and how was built my grand father was a soder during the the building of the alskan hiway

if you like that stuff i do

love to learn about that kind of stuff i was mad when they took atv televison off air because of bob baurs reserch was intresting and i liked his destanations

[hemingray]

Thanks for the shot of the fish ladder! I guess there's a fight going on over removing that dam as well as Englebright Dam further upstream. It will be pretty hard to get that done though!

Yep, history is fun to see out there on the ATV trail if you know where to find it. It's also fun to just look into history as you are doing with the Alaska highway!

I try to take pictures too, like many others here, as we explore! It's my favorite part of ATVs. I guess a bike would be OK too, but I prefer 4 wheels...

For you guys who like history and maybe need a "fix" since ATV-TV was canceled, check out Ghost Rider's stuff like the one on his home page here (from a Utah TV show):

He has more here:

And this one has some cool special effects:

Chris is a real inspiration for me, I keep telling him that one of these days I'll try making a history type of ATV video. Of course mine would suck while his certainly don't, so I haven't gotten around to it just yet.
