Oct 30th, 2016: Dry Niagara
Quote:
 Did you see it, didja, didja? I did. Walked upstream to see the cofferdam, across the dry(ish) river bed to the island, and over to the Canadian side for this sort of view. We watch them pour different colored dyes into cracks in the riverbed and watch to see where they emerged in the face of the falls. They decided there was no way to stop the erosion of the face and clearing debris was not practical. The final score: Army Corps of Engineers = 0 Mother Nature = 1

I didn't see a lot in June of 1969.
I was exactly 1 year old. You guys were around when Niagara Falls was just a trickle.

I was nine and had my nose buried in a comic book.

I missed this one by a fair chunk, as I wasn't conceived for about another 8 months after this was taken. The first news story I remember coherently from TV stations was the fall of Skylab.
I used to hang out in a chat room for members of a Magic: the Gathering trading forum, and they tended to forget my age (and gender, but those are other giggles). One day I was knee-deep in noobs in the room heckling me about my outdated pop culture references, so I asked 'em all how old they were when the Berlin Wall came down. One guy said 8, another 5, and another 3, then someone asked me how old I was. I'd graduated high school 5 months earlier. (Now git offa my lawn.) |

I visited Niagara Falls in 1966.
I remember this attempt and thinking it took away some of the romance. |
