Easy there TommyDale, Folsom is much closer and has a million acre feet ready to do what you suggested with little time to be warned. The one you mentioned is too far out of town and would give Davis plenty of time, PLUS...

Davis is buddies with all the commercial whitewater rafting companies in this region. They'd love to see the dams destroyed more than the terrorists and would especially like the rafting trip a busted dam would provide.

Whatever happened to the so called salmon fishers, middle eaterners, caught in the no boat area below Folsom last year after 9/11?

Several of the local fly fishers have noticed well dressed Middle East appearing couples and guys on the Monticello Dam at Berryessa taking pictures since 9/11.

First of all this is not an easy area to get to nor find. Nor is it a scenic view area. In over a decade of driving by that dam to go fly fishing, I never noticed the middle eastern people so interested in it and the photo ops. Usually the only people you see are bicycle riders taking a rest after climbing the grade/hill to the top of the dam's parking lot. Or fly fisher's like me looking down below the dam trying to spot big trout feeding in Putah Creek below.

I checked with a deputy sheriff re these new photo opers/tourists. He said to keep a camera in my Bronco and get out and take pictures of those taking pictures. I stopped twice with some new "tourists" out on the dam. Then I hollered "Wait, I want to take your pictures!" Before I could whip out my little zoom camera they zoomed away.

Of course no Islamic Terrorist would ever blow up Folsom Dam. Too many of their supporters from the Governor to the legislature are in Sacramento.
