Johnson's Shut-ins, Update

Back in December, I wrote about the Taum Sauk flood and the damage done to Johnson's Shut-ins State Park. In it, I wondered how long it would take for the site to be returned to its prior state.

Unfortunately, it looks like it will take years. Here is a photo taken by an internet acquaintance of mine, showing that the once-beautiful cascades remain a dirty, debris-strewn field of rock. Here is an impressive photo of the breach that caused the flood.
