Since publication of the story in 1975, and several hundred thousand copies later, a unanimity of environmentalists, thousands of Colorado River rafters, riverine ecologists, the Sierra Club, the Glen Canyon Institute, and even the U.S. Park Service have called for the removal of Glen Canyon Dam-to liberate 186 miles of Glen, Narrow, and Cataract Canyons and to restore the river as it flows through Grand Canyon National Park below the dam. But as Mr. Abbey suggested, both in his novel and earlier in his Desert Solitaire, perhaps it will fall to a few dedicated citizens to actually do the job. Now, at least in fantasy, the within story may serve to salve the long-festering wound that an older generation of environmentalists, the author included, still suffers because of the Glen Canyon tragedy. The story. Getting rid of Powell Reservoir requires far more than what is involved in disabling a bulldozer or re-routing the Peabody Coal Co. train. Glen Canyon Dam has a mass of over nine million tons; and when the reservoir is full, 27 million acre feet of water are impounded: enough to cover 2.7 million football fields ten feet deep. Glen Canyon's protagonists try to find some way to drain the reservoir without catastrophically rupturing the dam. They find a way, but things do not go as planne.
