Mile 366 on the Tenn-Tom; October 29, 2011


Today we went through three more locks on the Tenn-Tom and completed the 
"Canal Section" of the waterway.

Tomorrow begins the final section called "The River."

Although we are only one mile off the main channel,
it feels like we are in the Mississippi outback.
Marina's are nice, but gazing out big windows watching the leaves turn
and listening to woodpeckers, frogs and who-knows-what is priceless.

We began our day by going through the Fulton Lock: 25' drop
On weekends, the locks are on restricted schedules and locks every
two hours. No wait time if you plan it right.


We followed these boat into the Wilkins Lock: 25' drop


Amory Lock: 30' drop
Tow boat waiting when the lock gates opened


Lots of  leaves are still on the trees - 
pretty.
