The log jam on spirit lake

Harry Truman, (not the president) a lodge owner and resident of Spirit Lake refused to leave when the area was evacuated. When the blast occurred, the water from Spirit Lake went 700 ft. up the sides of the mountain and the lake bed filled with downed logs, ash and hummack (large rocks from the blast). Then the water came back into the lake and the lake level was 200 feet higher than before. Harry is buried beneath the lake in the 200 ft. of ash from the blast. The log jam is said to be some 2 miles wide and nearly 5 miles long. It rests at the back of the lake near the mountain and appears in this picture to be a sandy beach, but it is thousands of logs in the water.
