Sept. 15  Took Chris and his family in Castaway up river on the Mississippi, to learn how to go thru a Lock, all went well, got our names on the wall of the Lock in the MUCK, fun though.  Thanks to all of Chris's family we had a successful first trip on the Mississippi River north of the Marina thru Minneapolis downtown.  Cool.  Joe picked up the trailer and boat and we're stranded at the Marina with only the boat to go some where, hmm down the Mississippi River... Tomorrow.... We're ready!
