we got just over 2" of rain last night with 1-2" since tuesday on yop of already saturated ground. my dam which is not complete was over run by water i got a cut in it 5' wide down to the stream bed about 4'. this dam is not going to be really high it will only hold back 5' of water most of the depth was achieved through excavation which will not be finished till the week after next. the break isnt that much of a problem it will give us somewhere to put all the clay we dig up with the backhoe. just wanted to post this as a warning. we have a 1' diameter pipe to handle normal flow but during floods we will have a 6' wide by 8" deep. well despite this the project is still set to be stocked mid or late may with BG, FH, and CC then LMB in the fall.

o the clay core is very visable where the dam was breached that was neat to see i didnt know we had it so thick our dam is 20' wide and the clay core is about 5-6' wide cool to see it.
