Old browser warning

Site look funky? Your browser is either Internet Explorer (hit refresh (F5) several times due to a bug in Microsoft's code that we can't work around) or is 10 years old and standards-based layouts and styling confuse it. Consider updating. One excellent option is Mozilla Firefox, versions of which are available for Linux, Mac and Windows. Safari 1.0+ and IE 6.0+ are also supported.

Description:	This is Edison's dam #6 at the entrance to Chawanakee Gorge. Note that there are no gates on this dam. The water is spilling evenly over the whole width of the dam. The higher the flow, the higher the risk of being swept over. To portage the dam, paddlers must cross the warning buoys in the far background and hug the river right shore till near the dam. Then take out and scramble the last distance to the dam and cross into the trees. Downclimb, rappel, and lower boats as needed to reach the river.
