Interesting thread bump! I used to walk over that to climb on the Elwha wall but haven't been there for years now. I hear there is a new access trail so the climbing is open from the other side if anyone heads that way. I did a community college project on this when the removal issue was still somewhat theoretical in 1995 or so. Wonder where that video tape went . . .

Hardly,thanks for the updates.This whole issue indirectly runs in my family.My sister was doing black bear research around the Elwha for years to see if the damn removal would affect the bears returning due to the salmon/steelhead running.My brother-in-law is one of the head marine biologists in the park.They live in PA.Keep on postin' up.Yer sending me better pix than they are! ;-)

Here's some shots taken from Windy Arm which used to be about half way up Lake Mills. These were taken in August when about 70 feet of Glines Canyon dam remained.

Last bit of glines canyon dam is out and coho salmon have been seen spawning upstream of there.
Here's a recent pic in former lake mills looking at the damsite

interesting thread. I remember seeing an exhibit about this at the Seattle Aquarium. Any idea what the final cost vs original cost is and who provided the funding?

Kevin, this has been news to me, this thread.
I'm so glad you stuck with it.
There will be lots of folks interested when word gets around, and it will, about this restoration.
Bread's video is excellent. I'm assuming it all took place in one morning/day, since there were no nighttime shots. That was awesome to see.

Correction Dingus: "No dam that's awesome." :-)
This is amazingly cool. We need more removals.

Fascinating to see the changes over time. Super interesting and TFPU! Hope you continue to update this as the years go by and to see the natural process of silk removal/erosion and habitat restoration.

Thanks for keeping this updated. It will be interesting to see how the former lakebeds return to forest over the next decades.
