2008/07/02 – Wednesday – Dams and Locks

We left Elkader a little after 9:00. We stopped at several locks going up the Mississippi. Dams and Locks #9, #8, #7, #6, #5A, (missed number #5), #4, and #3.

At #9 and #5A we watched barges being worked in the lock.

Getting to dam #3 was a little nerve racking, because of all the signs stating restricted areas and all, but we finally found it and park in the visitor parking area and walked over the observation area without any problems.

We are camped at a casino RV Park – nice and cheep. We went into the casino for the buffet dinner.

We watch Nemo tonight.
