I am posting some pics for canyoncrosser, these are the pics and descriptions from the email he sent me:
For this phase, they have let out more water and it is about as low as it can go.Stevenson Creek comes into the lake over on the upper-left section of the lake bed somewhere (back by the far trees in the background) and it wanders across the lake bed and exits at the dam over on the right.
In the image above, the "old" dam (used pre-1920) is barely seen in the shadows near the center of the image. The "old" dam held back the "old" lake towards the background, i.e. the lake was on the the far side of the "old" dam, feed by the creek. The old saw mill and town were on this side of the old dam, i.e. in the foreground of the image above. A flume carrying the logs from the saw mill down to Clovis went down the hill starting where the new dam is currently sitting.
They have the area fenced off, but this is not an issue if you have good optics ...The creek wandering across the lake bed is seen here as it approaches the "old" dam from the far side of the dam (the top of the old dam is barely seen in the foreground
of this image)
Then the old dam (rock & earth) is seen here, with a spillway letting the water out of the bottom of the old dam.
Over on the left, we see some old stone structures and equipment.
And zooming in on the spill way ....
It is sort of surprising to me that what appears to be a wooden structure is still standing and appears to still work after 90 yrs of being under water.
The lake bed has a feeling like space ship Rover was taking the images ...where no man has walked in 100yrs, frozen in time ...
Especially with the long afternoon shadows ....

Cool pics canyoncrosser, I went by there a few times and checked out the progress.. I have a few trolling rigs in some of them rocks but there were guards there keeping people from the lake bed..They didn't want any artifacts (Indian) disturbed..
If I'm not mistaken I bumped into you a year or so ago on the lake..My bro and I were getting ready to leave and you and a buddy had just launched...
