Notes
Here's another Alva Day image from the cold snap of February 1929. You can see the change in river level in the ice jam.

Glad they did not blast away this lower lock entrance as they did the Condit dam and the Hood River dam. I can understand breaching the last two but spending so much time and money to remove all trace of their history I do not.

I agree Kenn.
That was an impressive cold spell. I don't think you could call it a cold snap.

This gives a good look at how narrow that canal was. Barges could not get through that this day and age........
