Morning.
Took a little trip over to the river to see the progress on the removal of the lower water dam. Yikes they fubared this badly.
Back story: the government decided they wanted to remove their “low water dam” that’s been in the river since Indiana became a state… locals were concerned that it’s removal would destroy the water levels and navigation ability of the white river.
