Eureka Ditch Re-Diverted

Passing through Bighorn Flats along the Eureka Ditch on Sept 11, 2005, we noticed that someone (the Park Service?) had modified the Ditch (using a small dam and channel) to send water back to the west of the Divide, as Nature originally decreed. The main channel (visible from the ridge) continues to the east, but the flow to the east is much reduced.
