We visit two lock and dam points on the Mississippi River. Lock and dam # 9 and # 10. At 10:30 at night at lock # 10 near Guttenberg, Iowa, we watched a tow break into two sections to make it through the lock. A couple days later, we visited lock & dam # 9 for some wonderful action. From loaded tows to crusiers to fishing boats, the lock was busy and we stayed a couple of hours.

One step closer to the beginning of our journey, a few things need to be taken care of before we leave for our trip down Old Man River.

Starting in Minneapolis Minnesota, I meet up with my brothers Dan (http://www.twitter.com/danbragiel) and Paul (http://www.twitter.com/bragiel).

From there, we grab a moving truck and haul our canoes up to the headwaters of the Mississippi River where we regroup, organize and leave the following day.

The trip has officially begun!
