Chicago to Joliet on the rivers; September 12, 2011


Bridges, bridges, barges, bridges, big barges and two locks -
we are back on the rivers!

Navy Pier on the way to downtown

Chicago Harbor Lock - constructed to prevent the river from draining
into Lake Michigan

Easing into the skyscraper canyon

Exciting!

Five spectacular miles 

Mast are down for the low bridges

Industrial section of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal: p....u

The only life bridge that had to open for us

Where the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and 
Calumet-Sag Channel join

We didn't see a single fish!

Lockport Lock - 40 foot drop
