I am living on the shore of a once vibrant and beautiful lake, Iron Gate Lake (above).
But greed, driving deception and misrepresentation have changed a once vibrant ecosystem into an environmental murder scene.
Now, like the white chalk outline drawn around the body of a murder victim, the sad remains of the murdered Copco and Iron Gate lakes are outlined…

I was not happy at the destruction caused by the dam removal on the Kalamath. And was not suprised at how California and Oregon experts screwed it up so badly. I live a couple miles from the Elwah River in Washington. The lefties here starring Patty Murray along with the tribes did the same thing beginning in 2011. Lies and more lies resulted in two dams taken out. Two pristine lakes gone. Flood damage in the (at least) hundreds of millions. A major 101 highway bridge gone. Patch after patch to our roads highways and fresh water systems. Permanent damage to the road entering Olympic Park. For what? No more fish except for a couple stragglers. THEY will lie their butts off about fish counts. But 12 years later and the river that we fished for sixty years is STILL CLOSED to sportsfishermen. This is a river of lies and cornball eco politics. Beware everyone they are after the dams on the Snake. How stupid is that?
