A news article yesterday on the possible draining of Lake Powell reminded me of this painting--painted years ago when Lake Powell was still filled with water. Also reminded me of the several times I rafted down the Grand Canyon with other artists, putting in at Lee's Ferry, just south of the Glen Canyon Dam. The article says 'former House Interior Committee Chair Mo Udall as well as five-term Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater have called (building the Glen Canyon Dam) “the biggest mistake in their legislative careers,” killed what was the biological heart of the Colorado River.'
So now there is a movement to drain Lake Powell. The information in the article about habitat restoration and recovery artifacts is truly exciting!
