In answer to SeEtta's question, yes, the area around the "footbridge
over Plum Creek" will be under water at either proposed water storage
level.  Yes, I will always call this bridge (until such time as it is
removed), the "footbridge over Plum Creek".  It is a more descriptive
name, more accurate and allows ANYONE visiting Chatfield State Park to
find it.  A visiting birder can ask ANY State Parks Ranger, Employee
or Volunteer and they would know where the "footbridge over Plum
Creek" is.  I'd venture that less than 15% of Colorado's birders know
where "Phoebe Bridge" is.  If someone asked me a week ago, I would
have guess somewhere near Canon City (SeEtta's territory)!
