A weathered log rests on the edge of the spillway of O’Shaughnessy Dam

Hetch-Hetchy reservoir is at full capacity due to the above-average snowpack on the Tuolumne River drainage. As a result, old logs once stranded by low water have floated free and have collected against the dam. This one seems to have made it past the protective boom and sits poised on the edge of the spillway. Will it ever escape?
