Rapids viewed from the
C56 bridge,
5 miles from Ft. Dodge

I swept through this series of rapids and only hung up once. Great fun it was, although once or twice a mile I had to get out and pull the boat off the rocks or the river bottom. This was also a 6 hour effort, and I was glad to see the tow car at the hydro park.

This is the last Phot of 1999
