Way cool lock and nice to see turtles doing their thing! And then, after a jubilant Taters goes on about spotting the turtle laying the eggs with a smile on her face and joy in her person, Matt has to throw in the "could have been pooping" comment! Yin and Yang, up and down, optimist and eternal pessimist/realist. But it works and we enjoy the interplay. Paddle on! Tortoise

What a scary lock !! Holding onto nothing,grasping,grasping... with wornout,wobbly arms from paddling..then nothing..no rungs do I let my startledness over come me,scream and flail backwards, tipping over the boat ? I may discover a new species under the water Or do I try to hear what that man who's talking to the sky is saying? This is an Epic canoe trip indeed

The Anticlimactic Lock 19! I have turned down several opportunities to Transit the Panama Canal. Watched a friend's video of the locks cycling and by the 3rd lock I hit fast forward. Heat, humidity and mosquitoes was my takeaway HOWEVER, I am watching all of your Mississippi videos multiple times because every second has been interesting thank you for taking this trip

No it was climactic! It was a very fun ride, definitely the best of the locks.

Keokuk's drop is 38' which is one of the largest drops of all the Mississippi Locks and Dams. It is that high to make a deep pool to supply water to the Hydro power generating station at this L&D.

I remember that lock well when I ran the river. When they opened the far gate, the turbulence was so bad, I swamped my canoe and nearly flipped it!
