Today I will show you a different view from Lake Hodges. This lake is huge and it is impossible for me to fly my DJI Mini 2 over the entire lake from one takeoff spot. A couple of months ago I made this post: https://peakd.com/hive-186141/@mengao/flying-over-lake-hodges-en. This post shows one side of the lake, near it's dam. When I was there that day, I noticed that the lake level was very low. I found it strange because we got a lot of rain lately (a lot more then average), and all water reservoirs in the county are full. I did a little reasearch and found out that the city did not maintain the dam properly, and the dam is unsafe. They are releasing all the water and already released 11 billon gallons of water in the last year.
Usually the lake stretches all the way across highway I-15, but the level is so low, that there is water only on that side that I visited a couple of months ago. Check out this google maps:

Hoje vou mostrar pra vocês uma vista diferente do Lago Hodges. Esse lago é enorme e é impossível para mim sobrevoar todo o lago com meu DJI Mini 2 a partir de um único ponto de decolagem. Há alguns meses, fiz este post: https://peakd.com/hive-186141/@mengao/flying-over-lake-hodges-en. Esse post mostra um lado do lago, perto de sua represa. Quando estive lá naquele dia, notei que o nível do lago estava muito baixo. Achei estranho porque choveu muito ultimamente (muito mais do que a média) e todos os reservatórios de água do condado estão cheios. Fiz uma pequena pesquisa e descobri que a cidade não fez a manutenção adequada da represa e agora ela não é segura. Eles estão liberando toda a água e já liberaram 11 bilhões de galões de água no último ano.
Normalmente, o lago se estende por uma area grande até o outro lado da rodovia I-15, mas o nível está tão baixo que só há água no lado que visitei há alguns meses. Dê uma olhada no Google Maps:

The red star is where I took off this time, and the orange star is where I took off 2 months ago. As you can see, usually the water reaches I-15, where I was taking off this time. But the lake level is so low, that I could only see the water from far away.
The title of this post is Lake Hodges Bridge, as you will be able to see in the pictures, there is a pedestrian bridge parallel to the highway, that is called Lake Hodges Bridge. If you seach online for pictures of this bridge, you will see it with water underneath. But now there is so much vegetation that I believe that there hasn't been any water there for a long time.
I still took this chance to take a few pictures of the highway. For me these structures are really impressive. I'm from Brazil and there are only a very few places where you will see roads with more then 3 lanes. But what impresses me the most is not the number of lanes, but the fact that these highways are all built with reinforced concrete, probably around 3-4ft deep concrete with a steel frame. I think there are none built like this in Brazil (please someone correct me if I'm wrong), and here most highways are built this way.
Now let's check out some pictures!

A estrela vermelha é onde decolei desta vez, e a estrela laranja é onde decolei há dois meses atras. Como você pode ver, normalmente a água chega até a I-15, onde eu estava decolando desta vez. Mas o nível do lago está tão baixo que só consegui ver a água de longe.
O título deste post é Lake Hodges Bridge, como você poderá ver nas fotos, há uma ponte para pedestres paralela à rodovia, chamada Lake Hodges Bridge. Se você procurar fotos dessa ponte na Internet, vai ver que tem água passando embaixo. Mas agora há tanta vegetação que acredito que há muito tempo não há mais água ali.
Mesmo assim, aproveitei a oportunidade para tirar algumas fotos da rodovia. Para mim, essas estruturas são realmente impressionantes. Sou do Brasil e são poucos os lugares onde você verá estradas com mais de três pistas. Mas o que mais me impressiona não é o número de pistas, mas o fato de que essas rodovias são todas construídas com concreto armado, provavelmente com cerca de 1 metro de profundidade de concreto com uma estrutura de aço. Acho que não há nenhuma rodovia construída dessa forma no Brasil (alguém me corrija se eu estiver errado), e aqui a maioria das rodovias é construída dessa forma.
Agora vamos dar uma olhada em algumas fotos!

Dams can be very unsafe and most times, I pity people who stay quite close to the same
They mostly suffer for it. The pictures are wonderful!
