Desmond Shaw, what a voice and you are in the right business.

[@martinoneal316]

That was worth listening to... the narrator was interesting, accurate...damn knowledgeable.. thanks...

[@jbj27406]

Did you miss an opportunity for a pretty good pun there? You did express my thoughts as well.

[@martinoneal316]

@@jbj27406 I was not aware of the pun opportunity I passed up until later...meant what I wrote...dam bourbon.. good catch and comment...

[@jbj27406]

[@patallen5095]

Desmond Shaw provides a great narrative!

[@CenturyHomeProject]

I live over here in Georgia. It’s nice to see a local interest story from California. I really enjoyed this, informative and entertaining. Well done!

[@ricardobjj24]

That's a hell of a name to give that thing

[@pootersnacks]

i see what you did there.

[@mazalaliyan37]

[@flyaccelerated]

Holy crap, Desmond Shaw is the best ever!

[@Jase1nthepLace]

same dude who recently reported the LA river which was also the greatest reporting ever Edit: im from UK so this is not my usual news report but i admire this guy still

[@julesjames593]

Very Cool! Thank you.

[@The_HillPeople]

Played disc golf at the course in the '90s and got frogs from the dam itself as a kid in the '60s. Hadn't seen any water in the thing in years before I left CA.

[@TrevorMagee-md8lg]

That just looks like the entrance to a cave from Donkey Kong 24 (old N64 game) where the water exits.

[@allenn7955]

I am your dam guide, Arnie... please don't wander off the dam tour and please take all the dam pictures you want. Now, are there any dam questions?

[@dsm9785]

where can I get some dam bait!

[@infinidominion]

Is this a God dam?

[@flyaccelerated]

its a devil dam, The complete opposite!@@infinidominion

[@MLife1000]

Desmond Shaw is my favorite segment "Look At This!"

[@HRTsAFyre]

Awesome, its a great dam.

[@LVX777]

If youre wondering why its called devil's gate look into Jack Parsons and the occult circles that practiced magick there.

[@bryanspilner7370]

or you could watch the video

[@corkyvanderhaven3391]

Or u can do whatever you want

[@Whatnok]

@@corkyvanderhaven3391😂

[@jamesgibson3242]

Exactly. Also some kids were walking thru it in the 1950s when it was dry and one or two disappeared when they were not seen for a few seconds. Someone turned and then looked again and the kid or kids were gone. Also Parsons was associated wit L Ron Hubbard and Aleister Crowley. All kinds of weirdness with those people and NASA.

[@ElonMuckX]

Jack Parsons, Alister Crowley, L. Ron Hubbard, all use to hangout around these parts, wonder what they were planning…….

[@RomeKG471]

Well dam!

[@ryanforresterrenaissancesa4204]

Daaaaaang. He sure says dam a lot.

[@AlAnsikk]

huh. never knew. this is cool i'm going.

[@corkyvanderhaven3391]

Did he say HaHa Bung Na and Devils Gate Dam ⁉️ My new favorite cuss word

[@piscesgirl8563]

It's haunted. I've been ghost hunting there.👹👻👻

[@califaern3sto]

Ooooo do tell!

[@randyshort4629]

Every time he says “dam” take a shot!

[@just-dl]

Dude….what did my liver ever do to you?

[@daniele3000]

[@mygolfballsannoy]

HS Cross country raced below it in the early 80’s

[@chrismcgonigle964]

Dam good story.

[@Ray-h7x8e]

Damn it.

[@jerroldkazynski5480]

I commuted past there for years without knowing it was a park!

[@TeddyBelcher4kultrawide]

I live on the left and right side of this picture I went to lock in yada high school that’s Altadena on the right side the top of fair Oaks

[@ErikaRodriguez-x7u]

Wow! This dam has the devil's name? I don't remember ever hearing about this dam named after the devil's gate had ever existed.

[@blackrifle6736]

*Where you been? Built in 1920, DGD was LA County Flood Control District's first dam.*

[@ErikaRodriguez-x7u]

@blackrifle6736 I was busy raising children, and my ex-abuser ex-husband didn't like it so much if I went far away because he was a very controlling man and he didn't want me to waste gasoline. This would make him very angry. Does this satisfy your question?

[@cali_cal]

can we fish here?

[@turboduran2531]

​@@cali_cal😂

[@mantronixtube]

@@blackrifle6736l grew up there and i also have never heard about this …. it’s really weird actually to watch this

[@aslkdjfzxcv9779]

just look at it.

[@Ryarios]

Dam…

[@andiiramii2775]

yeah but can you fish there?

[@alanlangley7246]

why are they letting water out when its not full yet

[@adventureguy4119]

Can we stop naming everything after the devil? He’s a loser. Why not name it after God or atleast th project manager

[@andiiramii2775]

you see the size of that dam? what a loser dam that is

[@thehpw]

Can you do the La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes, just celebrated its 100 year anniversary

[@TraceyEaster760]

The guy sounds like the guy at the new years day parade

[@nerdgirl4721]

[@katrinna7311]

[@jimmyhat3438]

[@flyaccelerated]

Just look at it

[@lakeratatouille]

Next announcer for Price is Right

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

Used to camp there withh the boy scouts as a kid

[@bog6106]

What If devil gate dam broke?🤔

[@mygolfballsannoy]

Usually dry behind it

[@blackrifle6736]

*Would take out Pasadena, SouthPas and everything else down the Arroyo Seco into LA. That's why it was first priority for construction.*

[@TheOtherKine]

In dry times that creek/stream would be a dry trickle, but when it rains heavy then you would get those flash flood type flows that would come down that hill with a nice water fall and blow out the Rose Bowl and the golf course around it, and continue down from there into that canyon where the 134 and the bridge crosses over

[@jeffalbillar7625]

There would be a lotta dust

[@szsenyuk8887]

It would be a damn shame 😂

[@thomaslloyd8306]

HOW MANY MURDERS AT THIS LOCATION???

[@willyautomotive1465]

Its haunted. Go there and you may get scratched.

[@vernongraydon2243]

Why are these guys publicly outing crucial infrastructures?

[@Whatnok]

That is not in Pasadena! JPL isn’t in Pasadena either Pasadena just whined as usual and got their address on the map all about $$$

[@billmadison2032]

Why did j tube recommend this to me
