Paddling from South Creek to Second Pond

Today we took Carol and Larry on one of our favorite paddles. They had not realized there were locks nearby and were excited to go through one. It was a beautiful Saturday but since it is after Labor Day we figured there wouldn't be too much traffic. There were a few motor boats, but not enough to spoil the trip. We even got a parking spot at South Creek. We of course had to climb up to the bluff on Bluff Island for lunch and they really enjoyed that too. While I was waiting at Second Pond for W to return with the car, I took this photo looking south from the bridge.
