Default Kentucky Lake Lock and Dam


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1f-qLQmWXs

Thought I would share this with the group. It's a short clip of the
inside of the lock at the Kentucky Lake lock and dam. It isn't much;
but, it gives an idea of the height the water is lowered and raised in
the dam and the size of the lock. It took us about 40 minutes to
clear the lock, and when we were free to leave the lock after the
gates opened, there was a small army of barges directly in front of
us, all ostensibly waiting to go down river. Some were going to have
a long wait. We had to wind our way around several barges and tugs.
You might be able to tell too that our boat needs a good cleaning.
Taking a houseboat down the Mississippi from Lake City, MN down to the
Ohio, over to the Tennessee River, to Jonathon Creek on Ken Lake can
do a lot cosmetically to a 43' houseboat.
