Only 1 lock today!! Pickwick Lock & Dam is a 55’ rise to Pickwick Lake. You can see the water boiling out as they drain water from the lock to lower to our water level to let us inside. then, we ride up.

Good night at Dry Creek anchorage; this was a beautiful spot. Not great for shore dooty (acceptable), but so serene.
