yes, of course, jeffies. the toothless "lock tender" (who usually isn't there)
says it is a lock -- even though the "gates" (the term used by the CG and the
Corps of Eng each use) is never closed on an ebb tide and often isn't closed
either on a flood tide -- it MUST be a "lock", right? At least to a training
wheels driver who has never been within fours hours motoring of the "locks".

kriste almighty, jeffies, drive over there sometime and LOOK (assuming you have
a driver's license or your wife tells you you can't go).

hoary, don't argue with me. a.) argue with the CG and/or the Corps of Eng
about what a lock is

When are you going to show us that Corps website you talk about, jaxie? Is
it because
you made it up? How about the CG website? did you make that up also?

The locktender says its a lock, with gates at both ends and a tidegate beside
it. The
Coast Pilot says its a lock, and gives the dimensions.

You never have seen locks, have you jaxie?

I've driven over there and looked. It's a lock.

but you can't see the gate from the highway, now can you. Even in the 6 second
highway transit.
