    This is beautiful!!!! You can see my Dad's place here.. only way to get to it is across the DAM! When we were kids, we kept horses out there.. and would swim them in the lake (not when it was going over the spillway though! As well, we would launch the boat from the 'beach' side.. i am happy they closed it off to public because people would trash the area so badly.. we have loved the canyon for many years! My GreatGrandfather, Grandfather and now my Daddy have owned the homestead on the pinnacle!!

    The music is too much.

    Very nice editing and drone operating skills. Looks like whoever designed and built that spillway did a good job, too.

    That's the coolest spillway I've ever seen. The way it curves to the left and the right makes some of the best water action I've ever seen. It looks the flume ride from hell.

    I usually don’t take time to post compliments on YT, but this is an incredibly well made video. The drone shots are just beautiful, and well spaced with the “before” clips. Fantastic job, and thank you for letting us experience this.

    An example of good environmental planning. Design saved property while managing risks of flooding.

    I thought this was going to be a lake in Saudi Arabia 😂

    Could sure use some of that rain today. Hoping everyone in the path of the Das Goats Fire makes it out okay with no homes damaged or lost.

    When I was young we used to be able to drive across the dam and take that low road across the river and all the way into Castroville. When the water was going over the spillway in lower volumes, it was neat to park and walk down and sit in the moving water. Beautiful footage. Wish we could get some rain like that today.

    Bloody fantastic. Hats of to the people who constructed this dam. Fantastic how they have done it with a natural spill way. Love. Many could learn from this.

    Great shots of an excellent over flow arrangement,so many dams don't have that unique feature.

    Absolutely a visually stunning video. I have finished in Lake Medina many times when I lived in Texas. The music was absolutely beautiful for the video.

    I don't think I have ever seen an overflow system like this .. it's amazing ! Whoever designed this was VERY good at their job!

    My great uncle worked on the construction of Medina dam and earlier this year I posted photographs of the construction he had taken on my G+ page. This is marvelous footage of the beauty of the lake and the old dam, still standing a century later. The spillway working just as intended. I've never seen better film than your drone flights over this beautiful area.
