Reservoir pioneers and the high line canal tale
A reminiscence recounts early water battles and the Terry Lake reservoir on the Poudre. The author describes signing a call for a water rights meeting, forming the Terry Lake crowd, and building storage reservoirs that spurred a regional boom. He praises Moss and Dave Wyatt, notes exchanges with Gov. Eaton, and predicts vast land value gains under the High Line Canal.
