One of the rites of passage as a youth growing up at Hundred Springs is "Walking the dam".  This is walking along the top of the wall along the length of the dam.  It is very narrow (about 6 inches) and you have the water on one side and about 8 feet drop to the "Little Stream" on the other.  

About half way there is a series of steps to test your balance. At 68 it was probably foolish to try to do this, but it is just something that you do for yourself - so I did it.  I couldn't take a video as I did along the "Pipe" (I'm not that stupid), but I did it.  Going down the steps was difficult.  On the steps there used to be a recognizable raccoon footprint in the concrete, but that is now just an oval impression.
