Historical DamScraper-Once the tallest in the world. #NorthWestIsBest #BoiseRiver
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrowrock_Dam
In 1910, the Reclamation Service began to consider another storage facility farther east on the Boise River. After several surveys, engineers decided upon the Arrowrock site which had previously been the site of a private irrigation venture under the direction of Arthur De Wint Foote yet failed for lack of funding.[4] The Arrowrock site is at the confluence of the main channel and the south fork. That was to be the most ambitious project to date for Reclamation.
At 348 feet (106 m), Arrowrock would be the largest concrete arch dam in the world.

Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time? That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains.-Hermann Hesse
