<br />I' <br />r <br />I <br /> <br />THE <br />BIG THOMPSON <br />FLOOD <br /> <br />PUBLISHER <br />C. F. Boone <br /> <br />EDITOR <br />Don Cotten <br /> <br />PHOTOGRAPHY BY <br />Tim Asbury, Dave Thomas, Mike <br />Whiteman, Jerry Lamson <br /> <br />ABOUT THE COVERS: <br />Front: Only a short time ago Glen Haven and Glen <br />Comfort were quiet, restful mountain communities. <br />The flood of July 31,1976 changed all that. These <br />scenes of the destruction wreaked by the <br />rampaging Big Thompson River are some of the <br />first photographs taken of this area. <br /> <br />Inside Front: The destruction was total from <br />Drake eastward to the mouth of the canyon, five <br />miles west of Loveland. Roads were cut to ribbons, <br />concrete bridges reduced to gravel. <br /> <br />Inside Back: Hundreds of volunteers braved the <br />treacherous roads into the canyon to bring aid and <br />comfort to the afflicted. Here workers discuss yet <br />another trip into the stricken Big Thompson <br />Ca nyon. <br /> <br />Back: Like a Shipwreck on a reef, the battered <br />hulk of an automobile lies stranded by the <br />receding waters of the flood. <br /> <br />To order additional copies send $3.00 plus 50 cents postage for <br />each copy to: <br /> <br />C.
