LOOKS FAKE, TOO | ||

Reminds me of being in a boat at Lake Tahoma right at the edge of the dam | ||

Not fake, it's real, been there, seen it, it is scary--Lake Berryessa. We call it the Glory Hole. http://daviswiki.org/Morning_Glory_Spillway | ||

Yup, we've got one similar at a lake in Nebraska. Sadly its been YEARS since any water went through it. | ||

As a small child my grandfather used to take my brother and me up to Berryessa Lake. I caught my first fish there. Usually the drain was above the water line so it was something we looked at from a fair distance. Grandpa told me there was a Loch Ness monster inside...  | ||

The hole is real, the last photo of the bridge over it, is not. | ||

The last pic with the girl & bike is a fake. | ||

Found this on the site, what a shit way to go out............ March 9, 1997: Emily Schwalen Emily T. Schwalen (November 28, 1955 – March 9, 1997) of Davis drowned when she was pulled into the Glory Hole spillway at the Monticello Dam at Lake Berryessa. She held onto the edge of the hole for 20 minutes, but could not be safely approached by witnesses. (San Francisco Chronicle, March 12, 1997) | ||

Damnut A guy I worked with had to go in the hole and retrieve the body, he said it wasn't a pretty sight. To get to the glory hole would have to be intentional. | ||

It would be like being eaten by a leviathan. | ||

I had a girlfriend like that once. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
 That ain't right. Was her name Rita? | ||
| Jstfrfun |
In as much as I was drawn to her inexplicably while knowing how spooky she was. I paid the price eventually | ||

Don't we all. Every fiber of your being says run like hell, but you don't. Must be what it's like for the moth just before it touches the flame. | ||

That thing rules ! I had thought that everything that could get you hurt in this pussified CoUNTry had been neutered. No guardrails or grate of any kind...I love it. | ||

There are very few years when Berryessa is full enough to go over the glory hole. I think it is close to twenty feet below the edge right now. |
