I know every square inch or that area. There is an under water tunnel under the ruins that are in the water or there used to be. When the current was strong and river high we jumped off the ruins and used to catch the corner of the building. If we didn't we would get sucked under by an under tow bang around a bit and pop out of the other side. It was so scary. We no idea what it was that we went into but now i do. I never thouggt about tunnels being there. I think it would be a great idea to send divers down to see what we have. The ruins should be a tourist destination.Get your facts straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16715961538173968575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-60801899864869054222018-01-10T02:01:35.201-05:002018-01-10T02:01:35.201-05:00If you drown at the dam it's because the water...If you drown at the dam it's because the waterways are open and the current is strong and the water level rises. My best friend drowned there. When I was a kid. You can make it all the way down the river but only when the water level is high. So it is possible. There are debris all the way across that are visible when the river is low.Get your facts straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16715961538173968575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-36966665204664705262018-01-10T01:54:29.898-05:002018-01-10T01:54:29.898-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Get your facts straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16715961538173968575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-19735988343329119532018-01-10T01:54:14.393-05:002018-01-10T01:54:14.393-05:00The property isn't private maybe city property...The property isn't private maybe city property but not privately owned.

Yet not knowing the real danger under our feet. Rumor has it that yes it was the Munitions plant. Yes there is under ground passages. All does make sence. Kids, teens even adults fell in at the dam. Their body's were found down river. If you fall in at the dam, there really is no way by our sights of this being possible because the rubble crosses 1 side to the other. Unless there is under ground passages. Be nice if this could be confirmed. We need local divers to comb the area. With that information, the real story can be told.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01807237808772788411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-67598410805461400742016-10-08T01:18:09.421-04:002016-10-08T01:18:09.421-04:00The ruin's in the picture.

May I make some corrections. The plant covered only 200 acres with 120 bldgs. A saw mill was located there previous. Th e old stone structures along river were never part of the plan They were for a hydro station with the sawmill earlier. The ruins are slowly disappearing . Much of the property is private now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13800197598273217327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-75294696126134302832013-05-27T11:40:06.946-04:002013-05-27T11:40:06.946-04:00I think this is part of one of the buildings that ...I think this is part of one of the buildings that fronted the river. The area is full of mostly concrete remains of other parts of the buildings, along with mounds of trash deposited by other more thoughtless visitors, the scourge of our planet everywhere you go. There are more building remains on the east side of the river, looking like they might have been designed to store explosives.The Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01482698067925791608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-60703795098933502432013-05-26T16:41:13.504-04:002013-05-26T16:41:13.504-04:00is this picture of the stone building in the water...is this picture of the stone building in the water or is there another part I haven't discovered?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
