Yesterday morning Mo and I locked up the Kentucky Dam. A 55 foot lift, we entered the Kentucky Lake and join up with Mike and Jack later in the day. The four videos below were taken during the locking process and will give you some idea what goes on with the locking procedure.

Yes, we made it through.

New crew added to help poor old mo. Welcome aboard Mike and Jack.

My "Americas Great Loop Cruisers Association" burgee was a Christmas gift from daughter Laura. The marinas and many of the boaters we have met recognize the flag and almost always ask where we started our trip.

You gotta admit, the new furniture looks great (and my older brother Mike as well).

Kentucky lake shoreline is pretty much like this for over 100 miles.

This was located next to an old rail road bridge that is no longer in use. We suspect it was a hotel that served rail passengers before the dam was built creating Kentucky Lake. I thought I saw an Ostendorf Morris for sale sign attached to the West wall (sorry Bill).

We docked early tonight at the Songbird Marina giving the crew time for some fishing off a rented pontoon boat.
