Various planks and lids and caps over the decades have safely covered the holes and old parts of the old retired Indian Springs Creek small hydro power flume and generator housing compartment that was built in 1940. These various cover deck landing things evolve as they come and go… The previous one was gobbled up by the exploding flood river and creek slamming it relentlessly (aka high water).

Sy’s 2025-6 version of the new replacement safety cover and landing deck panels is, “the best one we have ever seen!”, as one old timer exclaimed. Sy made it, so it’s stout, strong, highly functional, and home made hand-crafted, beautiful with artistic features and an eye for detail… etc. Such as a bit of safety feature in the design: The groovy grooves that Sy routed (an ancient secret knot pattern that you have to have security clearance to know)… will help make that landing less slippery when it is wet and/or algaefied.
