A Pirate's Life for Me

Unless you have actually seen the Chester Dam backwaters, these photos probably won't make much sense.

A low head dam causes the Henry's Fork to literally turn into a lake for the last half mile before the boat ramp. But add 25 mph winds blowing up river, and you get a not so fun last half mile. It was more productive to pull the oars out of the water and walk the boat down the river bank.

By this point, I didn't really care that my sister didn't catch any fish.
