We opted to park in a high school parking lot down in the little valley, and I unhooked and drove up to the site- Watched a 35 minute movie that was very sobering, and looked at the incident from a very personal perspective of the victims.
Got a pin and medallion here, and some postcards as well. The 1899 club house portion of the park was closed, but I got the stamps anyway. So I was 2 for 2 here.
The sidebar to the story is a couple of things I think, one, the decision to locate the town in a flood prone valley in the first place, and two, the liability of the "rich folks" who built the damn that failed, and escaped any culpability from it. Interesting visit.
