Above Upper Lows Dam

|

This is the channel above the Upper Lows Dam, which technically is Lows Lake now. About a mile up from here, the lake gets shallow, and you must portage up into the more open Lows Lake main section. Yes, the camera lens has beer in it, that now has to dry out before I can take any more pictures. Nothing until tomorrow. It's my Friday the 13th luck and stupidity of leaving the camera in the kayak, not in it's protective case, as I pull out, and spilled beer soaks everything.
