It's been down since June. No sign of life in the immediate future.

Are these images going to a different site or from somewhere we can access?

The white water kayaking association hosts the camera...if you read through their web site, they have asked for sponsors for the camera in the past.  My guess is that there is a lack of funds to run the camera. 

Maybe some web master we all know and love could see what type of $$$'s are needed to run the camera and work something out...having a guaranteed operational cam would definitely be good for the members here and may help drive new memberships (adding to his already overflowing wallet  ;)  ).

(FF - I will when i get home...thanx)

I think thats a good call - many of us fish it, and use it to check the volume for a potential fishing opportunity.

It could be part of the "Subscription Perks" ;)

Last time the website wasn't updating an image I accessed the camera with my dial up modem. But my old PC with a dial up bit the dust. The instructions for doing this are on the website.  If someone has a dial up maybe they can keep us updated.

Spoke with Highwater today and reports thru out the day today stated dead low water levels.  Dave said that the resivior is still way below the spill gate and that until the water is above the spill gate they cant even release any water.  I was up at cleaveland dam 3-4 weeks ago and there was 40 feet  of shoreline I had never seen.  Gunna take a week of rain like we had before the cap budges.
