Evening Along the Sacandaga River

Walking along the Sacandaga River on a clear but cool night along Old Route 8B. Did not see a single car or person in over two hours of walking, returning to camp after the moon had risen, providing light for nighttime walking.

Lock 11 Bridge Dam

 ... it looks like a DOT highway bridge minus a roadway. The extra chord on downstream side was added in early 1910s when they decided the bridge dams needed further strengthening. Actually, in the case of the Tribes Hill Bridge Dam (Lock 12), it was designed as a Bridge Dam but then the DOT added a roadway to the Bridge Dam 1927.
