3d world teenagers.



You find looking at map points interesting?

Isn't that all geography is? ... at least if you do not look into what
those points are all about.
I agree that if you do not have the intellectual curiosity to delve
deeper into the area, it probably would be boring.



There probably are hundreds of videos about traveling the Erie Canal,
the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway. I've watched more than a
few. This one, on the locks, was pretty good:

That video does a good job of showing what it's like to enter lock 17
at Little Falls. You enter under a vertical lift gate that looks like
it is way too low, and it feels like entering a cave built into the
side of a hill. After you exit the lock you are running along a
channel on the side of the hill, looking down into the town below on
the north side. Interesting perspective from a boat where you rarely
look down at anything except water.

With just two of us managing the boat there is unfortunately no time
for photography.

Pretty cool, interesting trip you're taking. We've transited the Pinopolis lock several times on our trips down to Charleston. It drops 75 feet from Lake Moultrie down to the Cooper River. It's pretty awe inspiring to be down at river level and look up at those doors holding a lake behind them!

75 feet is a *very* big lock. I'd like to try that trip sometime.

When constructed it was the highest single lift lock in the world.

Leaving Charleston Harbor there's some interesting things to see, including the old Naval base and an active submarine base. The sub base has a RIB with a .50 caliber mounted on the bow patrolling the river. No stopping, fishing, swimming or picture taking. They *will* board you... ask me how I know. :)

After that it's just trees and wildlife until you approach the small town at the lock and Lake Moultrie. The river is pretty easy to navigate except for one area where it gets a little confusing. There are some forks where it looks like you could take either, but the wrong choice will have you in the shallows quickly. Folks run aground there every year. Otherwise, the river is around 12-20 feet deep with room to meet other boats. There are no facilities on the river, and only a couple once you make it into the town, Monck's Corner. And yes, you can see a bit of the the grounds of the monastery from the river. In areas there are old gates on the banks where they used to flood the (rice?) fields on the other side. There is one CSX train trestle that crosses the river that you'd have to have them raise. It's has about 10 feet of clearance. Some info in this thread:

Let's see. The language major makes a statement, that very much applies o
this newsgroup, and when it is commented on, he says another skipper in
another newsgroup. You he was a newspaper reporter.

No, I did not say Skipper. I said "Skip." Two different guys to anyone
who reads or read boating newsgroups.

What's your point? The point of the author of the article is crystal clear.
Whats YOUR point of posting stuff like that poor excuse of poetic blather? It certainly wasn't to enhance the harmony of the newsgroup.

Harmony? In this trash heap?
It was amazing how civil it was when you were gone. If John and Don
could have got over their ****ing match it would have been an adult
group.

It'll never happen. John is quite punch drunk now and comes out swinging at every perceived slight.... even when the slights aren't aimed at him.
Back to his sheriff days I guess.
What was that Eric Clapton ..er Bob Marley song...'I Shot the Sheriff"??

You blame your poor behavior on John? Really?
