Change is bad

We just got back from our bi-annual trip to Havasupai in the Grand Canyon. About a year ago, a dam broke high above the canyon, flooding it with water and silt. Many of the pools we used to swim in are now only 6 inches deep and full of silt and much of the water is milky with silt instead of being crystal clear, but there are also entire new waterfalls and canyons that didn't exist before. Beaver falls was still jumpable, but the pool was too shallow for our usual mega jump

Sadly, Navajo falls has ceased to exist after the river was diverted elsewhere by the disaster. Check out the before and after photos, one in 2005 and the other last week. I was a bit disturbed to discover that the diving board I'd jumped off many a time was a thin sheet of dried mud, not a solid rock. Oops.
