From our campground on the St. Mary’s River, we watch the “Footers” go by. It’s very impressive – takes about three minutes to pass the area, this one heading ‘up bound’ into the Soo Locks enroute to Lake Superior. That’s Festus watching the action from shore.
We took the tour through the Soo Locks and could see it from both sides.
This is Katy – one of the crew members on the 70 ft. tour boat.
Katy prepares to throw the line.
Pretty fancy footwork, working the lines to adjust tension at the locks.
Here we go. The folks on the observation stand are waving goodbye.
The water recedes quickly.
Down we go.
The lock doors open, and away we go into Lake Superior.
On the way, we see this crane pick up a huge section of steel from shore.
Don’t know where it’s going, but it’s really big.
Nice move!
