Strange to see Windy Point so high and dry in some of the aerials. Let me run a few traps at LCRA and see what other photos are in the archive.

Where are these aerials at?

I spent part of the afternoon with the LCRA archivist, Jean Flahive, and found two additional photos of the Mansfield side of the dam. One of them seems to have a "bridge" on the service road. The other four are of the Shaker Plant. Jean scanned the photos for me and has also placed them on the LCRA flicker page.

Can you post the photos she scanned?

Jeff - Is there anyone you _don't_ know??? You're a super sleuth!
Robert - This link has cool new photos at the end, so I think it's the one Jeff is referring to.

Has anyone considered putting all this information together into an underwater trail?
It looks like we have a trail that leads from the damn site (now park) out to the orginal plant site (combination of possible trails, telegram poles and old bucket poles.)
So is the information available to make a underwater trail from the park out to the old shaker plant?
Or would a side scan of this part of the lake help with the process in defining a trail system?

side scans are always beneficial ... but the problem arises of compiling multiple side scan runs into a comprehensive map
it can be done, but we would need to find the manpower and equipment

What like run gold line to the sites?
Anchors are going to be a problem in spots, ran into anchor problems with GTTP, the anchor solution currently in place, I wouldn't consider perminent for "general" traffic, it would get trashed very quickly.
What about compass heading from one area to the other.....makes it more challenging than a line!

I agree that much Kermantle would be a pain.
Alan, has a good idea. Make a standard U/W map with points and directions.
Especially any telegraph poles or solid objects.
Try to hold the site as close as possible to specific known distances.
Then again I am not against drilling into large limestone boulders and putting in vertical markers. A kind of "You are here" marker...
I am digging out my map now.
