| Wilson Lock |
Today was most interesting as we had to pass through two locks to get here. The first one was Wilson Lock and Dam which raised us 95 feet. The second lock was the Joe Wheeler Lock and Dam which raised us another 48 feet. Barb and I think the Wilson Lock was the highest lift we have experienced so far out of the 222 locks we have passed through since beginning this adventure. The two locks have 10 floating bollards each and eight of them were used by loopers.

We arrived at Wheeler State park and were assigned our slip for the next week. All of our friends are close proximity to the Lodge and Barb and I are in a choice location under cover of a roof, but a 10 minute walk from the action! Tomorrow morning I will try to change our slip location. If I wanted quiet I would have anchored out under the stars.
Our absentee ballots were waiting so we voted and mailed them back to Illinois. We have paid for seven nights and will plan out our next month during that time.
