Today, we are traveling with another couple,  Bev and Joe Paige on Wish Granted from Peterborough, Ontario.  The day is extremely hot (mid 90's) and we have traveled through 7 locks.  Two of the locks are a "flight" lock.  This means that you enter the first lock, it brings you up and as you exit this lock, you are entering the next lock.  A "flight" lock is used where a large lift must be achieved in a short distance.  Wish Granted left us at Lock 12 and continued on.  We stopped for the night and walked to see the nearby suspension bridge across Ranney Gorge.

Bob carried Tucker and Willow over the suspension bridge.  The floor grid was too large, their feet would fall through!
