Great Trip With The Cool Kids Classroom! First off...Thank You April for the time you spent picking out and lining up in chronological order ALL of the photos! I'm a dweeb when it comes to technology...BUTT...even this knucklehead knows that you can't just go Samantha Stevens and wiggle your button nose and Poof, all these pictures show up ready to go! That is where Your talents come in deciding places we visit, shots we see, information given to help explain what we are digesting visually...not to mention the music selected perfectly to score what our Rods and Cones see! I really appreciate the amount of effort you sacrifice for The Total Package you offer up! Cheers From Ohio And As Always Keep Strutting With That Smile! Hi Heath Too!

[@FindingNorcal]

Thank you! It IS work.. but I really enjoy it :) These videos don't exist so Ill just have to make em!

Hello!! She does put a lot time in on her videos.

@@heathdavis4506 Allo Allo Heath and I wholeheartedly agree. April really does go to the nth degree to make sure her videos are up to snuff for her Fan Base. Awful nice of you my man to stop by and say hi. I appreciate the thought! I have heard many a KZbinr say that sometimes the fun part of making an actual video is in fact the editing. I think I'd go nuts trying to figure what I can show and what has to be sacrificed for the greater cause. Of course, after awhile I'd probably end up saying Fu*k it, this will do and move on!🤣 Thank you for reaching out and hope to see your name in The Cool kids classroom down the road! Cheers From Ohio

My Grandpa helped build the dam. Pine Grove exit overpass was where the house was in the center of now I5.

Ragtime music? This was the 40s Glenn Miller or Arty Shaw! Pretty cool though! Where's the Ironworkers placing the steel?

[@Smithsgold]

That Dam Village 😂 Sorry, couldn’t resist!

[@FindingNorcal]

Amazing feats by amazing men. I look beyond the story of the dam. Look at how fit all these men were. You don't see one ounce of fat on any of them. What's missing besides fat? Fast food. And how in the hell did they get by without cell phones? And who did all the math for building the dam. Not computers. They were not present at the time. Gee... Education must have been tough in those days without computers and cell phones to cheat with. Things were different back then. One last thing. Back then, if a dam was needed, they built a dam... Now we are in real need of a lot more dams and how many do you see going up at the moment????

[@FindingNorcal]

Amazing stuff right?! 🙂

[@irishgrl]

You couldn’t pay me to ride in that first cable ride 😬

[@irishgrl]

That brick building in Kennett, what a shame to cover that up 😢

[@RagnarRocks]

Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn!

[@FindingNorcal]

hahah RIGHT??!!

[@zebesterhaze69]

Your ending, “Thanks to the Shasta Dam we now have the Wonderful Lake Shasta”. Or at least 33% of it as of 9/26/2022

[@FindingNorcal]

Right!

[@AnnasBurningCuriosity]

Waste of money and time. All they had to do was import 50,000 beavers!!!!

[@FindingNorcal]

Hahaha ya That would have done it

[@irishgrl]

Looking at what these men had to work with in terms of machinery and whatnot, it isn’t much different from “stone knives & bearskins!” (From Star Trek 😂)
