My dad and I went to Saluda Dam today to see how much the water was flowing over it. It rained heavy the last 5 days. Looking at the dam from a boat lauch, there was the old head gates piled up on the shore and a bunch of old timber laying in the woods. I really wasn't there for anything insulator-related but I looked over and in the wood pile was a crossarm. It was one that mounted to the building under the wire outlets. Somehow it was dumped on the opposite side of the dam, away from the powerhouse and still intact.
