IIRC, the only time Jeff was even partially wrong was over this dam(n)
issue. In every other case you've been completely wrong.

The reason I was wrong about the dam was that I was looking at the
wrong dam.  It wasn't even a dam but more like a spillway for a pond.
However, it was the only thing I could find with that looked like
Tom's "deep mud" description.  It turns out that there are two lakes
(as described in the video).  One lake is used to control the water
level in the other lake.  Therefore, there are two dams of sorts.  I
couldn't figure out how it worked so I asked Tom to take photos.  He
didn't.  My real mistake was forgetting to lookup the "deep mud" issue
on Wikipedia, which explained many of the details.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cull_Canyon_Regional_Recreation_Area#Reservoir_sedimentation_issue>
"The lagoon was separated from the main swim area by a secondary dam,
so that the lagoon level remains constant even if the main reservoir
level is drawn down during dry weather."
