I’ve lost track of where Moonbeam Canyon is. Is that below the Emergency Spillway?

What are we calling the newly-formed canyon made by the broken Main Spillway?

Hint: look for the current thundering waterflow...

Moonbeam Canyon is the 100’ deep (+/-) canyon that was made when the side of the main spillway blew out and cut a new channel blasting rotten rock and earth into the Feather River below.

I named it that a month ago when we were trying to figure out both how deep it was and how it would ever be backfilled to allow the main spillway to span it. I thought about it and decided that in California’s current administration there could only be one appropriate backfill that was massive enough to stay in place — Bullet Trains — and only one name for the gapping maw — Moonbeam Canyon.

Thanks to KC.
