Little lies behind this plain, simple, small dam other than dust, and sage brush. There is no lake, no marsh, no swamp, not even a trickle—most of the time. Yet, once in a great while, cloudbursts over the hills above the dam, or a chinook wind after a heavy snowfall send water cascading down this usually dry gully straight towards homes and businesses below. But this humble dam stands ever ready to hold back the floodwaters, like a forgotten friend that is always there when needed.
