Recent rains have put this ‘Glory Hole’ into use for the first time since 2017.

I’m putting my Glory Hole to use right now!

Following the article, I think we are obligated to use the term “Glory Hole” at least once in each paragraph.

“Glory Hole”.

My question is: is the glory hole connected to the Putah at all? Putah creek, that is.

That glory hole is mοist as hell

No guts, no glory… hole.

Brave men rimming the Owyhee Dam Glory Hole.

The title sounds like something geared toward California-bound sex tourists.

@jlw

known as a ‘Glory Hole’

A specialized form of weir. (Math involved.)

What is a Weir?

I hope someone’s compiling a video of quotes by local news anchors.

Yep.

The load that gets dumped into the gloryhole, eventually drains down the Putah (though it’s usually more of a dribble in most places).

I’ll see myself out…

Actually, I went to UCD, and the Berryessa Glory Hole is pretty scary up close. Much larger than you’d think.
