The Dam is also considered the unofficial dividing point of the ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ parts of the River. I missed this landmark in 2016, but…

Krazy Pic 1 Did you ever take a selfie this way? (One wonders if this was rigged. What do you think? Is it a phon(e)y attempt to cell us a bill of goods?) Krazy Pic 2 Perhaps we should have paid more attention in the boat launching class. New 2019 Guinness World Records The 2019 edition of Guinness Book of World…
