the section below the dam was spilling today.......due to the danville power and light having joined a new electric cooperative......some guy in Ohio calls the shots on production scheduling.....I was told today that we should look for the damm to spill possibly more this month....this would be an excellent chance to get a better look at whats lays below the dam in the dewatered stretch......Keith Vestal from Stokes County NC ran it 2 summers ago ....the dam was spilling for the Kibler valley run....due to penstock repairs.....he hiked at least 2 miles up from the powerhouse and ran some great slides and manky boulder drops.....the real stuff starts just below the base of the dam and includes the big falls of the dan....20+footer?
