The westbound view of the Spencerville Guard Gate. The two gates can be lowered into the water, forming a temporary dam to protect a section of canal from high water levels.

The Guard Gate also makes a nice swimming hole for the local kids. In this scanned film-camera photo from 2003, we get mooned by four boys at the Gate, while "Miss America" waves from the structure. I was disappointed that the girls on the far right didn't moon us, but the Admiral seemed happy enough.
