Fulton, Mississippi

We attempted an early morning departure but were delayed again by fog.  Once the fog lifted the day was spectacular, not a cloud in the sky all day!  We traveled down the Tenn-Tom Waterway (Tennessee River - Tombigbee Waterway) 49.7 NM and locked through 3 locks.  One of the locks was the lowest (or highest, depending on your direction of travel), locking us down 84'.  It was also a very rapid and smooth lock down. We were allowed to share the three locks with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers tow named Tenn-Tom.  Basically, we locked down the Tenn-Tom with The Tenn-Tom!  Special thanks to the coyote that posed so nicely for me! We are docked at Midway Marina, Fulton, MS.

Lock doesn't look very impressive when approaching  from the north.


This is the lock looking aft after locking down 84' and exiting.  That's a barge with a crane on it.






Looks like we are in Louisiana.
