Carmel River diverted

Thanks for the post! That is a more significant project from an environmental and engineering standpoint than I anticipated. Good news!

I've been following this for over a decade now, and I'm still surprised it actually happened! It was a major undertaking to re-route the river, but the last storm caused Los Padres dam to spill over and flow down through the "new" section of river. So far, it's working. Now I'll be paying attention to the fish counts & number of steelhead that make it up to the los padres dam trap.

Brings back a lot of good memories chilling at the fish ramp on the river..
