7/16/10---Dubuque, Iowa

Went to see the locks and a dam today on the Mississippi River.  It was very interesting.  I have posted a few pictures showing how a 15 barge shipment went through the locks.  It was so big that they had to send 1/2 of it through the locks and tie it on the other end of the locks and push the 2nd half through and tie the 2 halves back together before it could proceed down the Mississippi.  I don't know if the pictures will make any sense to you. Hope they do. 

I've also posted a few pictures of Mackinac Island, Michigan. 

Hope you enjoy.
