Mark,
I agree. But that is not the case. We can still fly on the lake side (I
flew at lunch today in fact). The fishermen are still allowed to fish and
they are walking or boating the whole length of the dam. I just feel that
this is a situation that in which the terroists are winning by changing our
lifestyle. If the dam was closed to ALL traffic I wouldn't be saying a word
about it, but it isn't. As far as I can tell the only people affected are
the slope heads, the kite flyers, the dog walkers, and the gay guys that
used the park below the dam as a meeting place. Am I confused or in error to
think that this is just wrong?

I think the jist of it is, it is easier to moniter and keep vehicle
traffic moving along the dam,
where as either law enforcement or the dam operators may not have the man
power to observe foot traffic, and my self personally, I feel that as nice a
place as it is to fly, it may be unwise to fly r/c aircraft around a dam or
other structure like that. people nerves are on edge and so people might
percive some even as simple as an r/c aircraft as a threat.This may for the
time being be on of the sacrifices that we all have to make at a time like
this.
