Incredibly Calm Lake Approaching Wheeler Lock
These great blue herons are smarter than I originally thought ;-) The locks have many recesses that become small pools when the water level drops. One wiley heron was going from pool to pool and gorging himself on the hapless minnows.
95' Down in Wilson Lock
I timed our 95' descent in Wilson Lock and determined that water is flowing out of the lock at 100,000 gal/sec and a total of 47,000,000 gallons were released. That's a lot of water!
Joe Wheeler Park to Florence
It was 21 miles from Joe Wheeler State Park, going through two locks, to get to Florence, Alabama. Total for the Journey is 2558 miles. DBH
