Undamn that river!

Next month, officials in Olympic National Park in Washington will begin the process of dismantling the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams. Removing the dams will open up the river to salmon again. The Lower Elwha Klallam tribe tell of a time when the salmon was so thick in the Elwha River that a person could walk from shore to shore  stepping from the backs of the thrashing fish. Not sure I believe that, but it's fun to picture.
