Nice.  Before they put the ugly rubber dam in the foreground, and the low-hanging telephone wires that block the shot.

Yes, back when fish (salmon and steelhead) could still swim up Alameda Creek.  Damn that rubber dam!

WTH does a rubber dam do?  Why did they put it in?  It doesn't look like it controls anything.
