admin — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 09:46:03 +0000

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.
