A tough couple of days.

An early morning start,
This would prove a long day,
Last day on the OL Miss.
Interesting bridgework.
Two long waits at locks,
pushing hard to arrive at
anchorages before dark.
Rocket speed for us.15 Mph.

We waited 4 hrs to pass thru the
Construction zone for new dam,
and Lock, will replace 2
 

Massive construction. Started in
1990s,end date 2020. 

You can see flood debris on
new work.

Tied up at lock being
replaced, 2nd oldest in US.

Wickets, lowered during high water,
so boats can pass over.

The fleet sprinting away at dusk,want
to anchor before dark, It was Dark.

Anchored opposite large industrial
complex.

Another early start





Now on Cumberland river,

Cumberland, easier on the eye 

Last lock for now

A tall lock

Our home for a few days rest.
