Nov 9 Rock Dam on Little Caraway


This is a massive stone dam on Little Caraway Creek near Mt Shepherd. Will and I made one wrong turn on our way here but managed to find the dam. The size of some of the stones is impressive. We stayed here about 15 minutes walking all around and on top of it. It was hard to imagine having built this structure without mortar or power equipment. Some very skilled people built this dam to last a while.


After marveling at the dam, we hiked up Mt Shepherd and accessed the lookout tower. I live next to one of those bumps on the horizon.
