Mr. Page, You might want to read the post I made before you start flaming my ass. I'm all for necessary security in light of the recent situation. However if they are truly concerned about the security of this site why would they allow truck and auto traffic to run right over the dam? Why would they allow boats to pull up right next to the dam? Why would they allow fishermen to stand right next to the powerhouse? Why would they be moreconcerned about a group of slope flyers who have been flying at this site for over 5 years than the above?
So if you really feel like flaming me for questioning what I view as a really stupid situation, feel free, but be sure of your facts and read through the post to understand the situation before you fire. Also, since you broadcasted your post, I will reply in kind. You might want to wipe your head off since it is obvisouly stuck up a smelly place...
