Family luvs this place! We go when we can. Ready to buy another boat!

Great Video, and I really enjoyed the background Music! Thank You

It's really nice to see all this progress, but sad to see that it will come to a halt in January. I hope the Four Lakes Task Force can get all the legal issues sorted out so that the construction of the dam can continue into next year.

I recognize the music but can't place the title of the first song.

What a great video. Thanks for taking the time to make and post.

We were about due for another view from the sky. Just over 3 mos left for the year reconstructing the dam. Haven't read anything lately if the the total "Shutdown" is still scheduled by year's end for Sanford due to funding! Are there any "concept photos" out there for the final look of the dam? Thanks for taking the time again.

Nice update!

Well, lit looks good, well constructed, but who is paying for this, and is it needed. I know many damns have been removed to restore the natural habitats.

Thank you! I really enjoying your fly arounds of this project.

Another Great Video. The "fly through's" were awesome Thanks

Love the fly through down and up close gives you the view how deep all that is.

Thanks for flying and posting!

Thanks for the amazing updates like always

Nothing like getting upclose to this Dam Rebuild and seeing the progress so far. Luved that vertical view, towards the end, looking down at the dam. Amazing Drone work!

What a great video

Thanks for the regular updates on this project!

thank you for posting! #PoseidonBarge

I always look forward to your sanford updates!

Great video. They are even more important now for updates. Since the forms for the spillway walls have gone up, live cam viewers can't see anything going on at the low level outlet construction. (The cam didn't have a great view of it in the first place, but it's worse now) Stuff I noticed: 1 Plywood is gone from the powerhouse window openings. I'm wondering why now? Window installation shouldn't be a priority until major construction is complete to prevent accidental breakage by work crew. 2. Looks like the lake bottom will need another brush hogging this year. 3. There are forms for concrete walls on top of the low level outlet that would block flow. I really can't visualize how this outlet will function. Haven't found info on it on the FLTF site. They still only have the original plans there saying powerhouse would be used for this function. 4 Not from this video, but on the live cam it took almost the entire workday to fill the first spillway wall form to the top with concrete. That's a lot of concrete if it took that long. And they're gonna need enough for 5 more walls.😲

Epic!

good job .really like your drone videos

As always a Great Video. Thank you for taking the time out to make them

Saw on the stationary LIVE cam this morn they started cement pour on gate wall. Luv the 360° ariel drone feature you bring us each Video. Sometimes hard to see the progress, but glad you took the time! Great Job again👏👏

Thank's for taking the time to post. What great view.

Nice! Small crew. Not sure by design! Finishing Dates were Updated for ALL Dam work. Earliest Completion is Secord Dam (late 2025). Says 55% completed but looks further than that. Delays are still possible with Court Dates! Property Owners still in limbo with assessments, probably holding their breaths ($$$)! Sis said sad situation all around, having to Pay for something that wasn't their fault. Pretty much stuck for what's to come! Thanx, again, taking the time here. Luv "same day" video uploading! Very Professional I'd say, again!

another fine job . thanks for update

Be nice to see this water way working late this year. How high are they going to run the lake side?

good job thanks for update.

Thanks

Nice job. Looking forward to the next Sanford update as well

What is the main use or reason for this dam? Just curious I'm not one of those tear down the dams looney. Dams have a purpose or multiple jobs to perform. Also where is this located? I'm Eastern Washington state a couple miles where the Snake River joins the Columbia River here we have four dams with locks and hydropower plants. Known as the four lower Snake River Dams also they equipped with fish bypass systems groups from the far left have set their sites on them for removal to save the local Orca pods in Puget sound. It's a stupid argument they lacking facts but like other looney lefty causes even though it's very small percent of a percent but they squeak a lot and loudly while the rest have to work for living, And Democrats politics don't play on level field, they want to remove four facilities that are as green energy as it gets.

What is taking so long? it only took 5 years to build hover Dam its been 4 years

Nice ariel as usual. Stationary LIVE CAM, even though nice to have, can't compete with your Drone footage. Now that these gate walls going up, blocks alot of the views of work being done. Thanks for your time for us to view the project from the air. Happy 4th of July to You and Fam 🎆🇺🇲

Like that version better, close flying and the usual circle up higher. It's nice to get a detailed close up.

The old power house would make a great bar. After watching a ball game you could to the Dam Bar, hell you could go to the Dam Bar when ever you wanted.

Superb drone flying. That first 4 minute shot is epic! Great work. Really helps to see angles that the live cam doesn't cover. Any chance you could shoot the staging area away to the South West please? Used to be a cat park in the old days.

Thanks I live in California and been following this since the flooding . Great drone shots.

Looks like today would’ve been the day to go down there! Pumping concrete, cranes moving, lot of fun stuff to video. I’ll get down there again some time next week, hopefully.

Thanks. You video shows areas Joedan's camera can't

It's nice when there's not a Work Crew so you have free range to video w/o disturbing any work being done. One of your Best Videos! They don't put full days of work anymore, probably cause of the "Money Issue". Secord Dam looks to be almost Complete now, with water flowing through the New Spillway! Just a few workers round the dam area tweeking stuff. Most if the landscaping seems to be done. Anyways, nice job on the Video! You're gettn' very skilled with the Drone now. Enjoy Summer

Some pretty bold flying right there - Excellent!

Who’s paying for that?

Who’s paying for this?

Unless plans have changed, the emergency spillway will be approximately where the river is currently re-routed. This new bay going in at the opposite end of the spillways from the old powerhouse is either going to be a seventh spillway with a crest gate or perhaps a low level water outlet for passing flows in the winter. I thought they would be using the passageways in the powerhouse to do that, but seeing as they've completely filled in the tailrace with concrete they've either abandoned plans for a low level outlet or are going to incorporate one into a spillway. Really wish FLTF would post the final design on their web site to clear this up. The design posted before all the construction started has 8 spillway gates and a powerhouse that was half as long as the current building. But the building appears to be retaining it's current footprint so designs have changed at least somewhat since then.

Great video any chance you could go up to the new M30bridge being built and film any of that?

Thanks again for taking the time to post this video. Looks like a lot of work and rework going on.

Things have really ramped up here at Sanford Dam. Getting a 360° areial view puts the project in perspective. Looks like Legal Matters are gonna slow things down, it sounds like. Work here at Sanford will continue till end of year and then a "Full Stop", unless matters get resolved in Court. Secord Dam almost finished, but they too, shutting down shortly! Sounds like a mess with Property Owners vs Construction Costs! Sis and Hubby were up at their place at Secord Lake area (Tib River). Said locals not sure what's to come! Sad. Pontoon remains in the garage (Brand New-bought wk before catastrophe of dam systems. But, your areials are enjoyable to view from above. Thanks for your Time sharing!

Wonderful video. It really puts the monumental task of rebuilding that dam into perspective.

SO…..why is this dam and area worth so much time and money…. They have spent millions, I am wondering why. What is the greater value?

Thanks for the timely updates. You are recording history!! Another possible historical interest would be the new M30 bridge.
