Three locks in one day...add a little rain and then top it off by traveling with that SNAKE...if I could have scaled that wall, I would have. This lock dropped us 85 feet. The largest we've encountered. Piece of cake...I've conquered that whole situation from the rope handling end. Don't try and get me behind the wheel...not interested. I take the front cleat, my boat hook, a rope and floating bollard ...any day, any time, any place.
