That river is a nice paddle but now they closed off the takeout.

No. Not close to there. It is between 206 and Carranza and closer to Carranza. The water is just to the left by an old dike in this photo. And the road to the right coming in behind Jessica has been blocked off semi recently with the plastic in the road. And the road ahead goes to a location where the road it intersects is blocked. Basically, your rights to drive there are terminated!!!!Looks like one of the many streams or water ditches in Franklin Parker Preserve
If it is not here, then there is something like here.I was not far from there yesterday as well.

That tree and intersection in your pointer is off of Glossy Spung Rd. As far as I know, that road was deemed off limits in the original MAP fiasco. As I recall, that little sign quotes something about keeping it clean. I think Ed C and I discussed that and the small directional looking thing above it.

I am sure that pipe must have been one of the many that were under the stream right there. That location washed out in 2011.
A bit of local lore: If you walk toward the Skit from that spot, you will cross a concrete raceway. Continue along the dam, it ends. Locally it is called The Breached Causeway and I was told it was dynamited.
Here is a picture of what it looks like today, for comparison. Taken from the opposite side as your photo. It looks like it could pretty easily wash out again.

I'm also curious about the tiny foundation that the pipe has been tipped into, if you have any guesses on that.
In the concrete rubble there is something written when the concrete was wet. It would take some effort to expose it all. It might be a fun project.
