Lovin' the Lake

Most of us had our first experience in a LOCK.

It is like a water elevator to get boats from

the lake down to the river.  You start at the top

and the huge 800.000 pound doors close in front

of you and behind you and the water level

drops 74 feet-- then the doors open and

you are on the river!  Interesting but eerie!

Buckets full of babies!!

The Pretty house we got to stay in thanks to Liz!

Got to make a quick stop on our way
home to see our favorite Chattanooga families!
