Tow to Tow with Tow's; September 21, 2011


Tow boats pushing barges as large as 600' x 110' were the story of the day. 
They would appear around a bend, on the straight sections or parked on the side.
No nap today!



Peoria Lock - 7th lock going down; 8 feet
Locktender told the barges he was going to, "Get the pleasure craft out of here."


Coming at us

After working out way past working tows, moored barges and a coal
transfer plant, we anchored safely behind Quiver Island.
