Down River

March 21, 2014  •  1 Comment

The Alton Lock and Dam (#26) on the Mississippi River.

Fifteen barges moving south. I find the process of changing the level of the water in the lock fascinating, but I don't usually have this vantage point from above the lock. This is the next to last lock and dam on the Mississippi River as it journeys south to the Gulf of Mexico. It would seem that "going with the flow" would make for an easy trip. But there are obstacles and turns and other traffic headed north. I suspect that few things, if any, are easy.
