Once underway, we entered our 104^th lock.  This is the final lock we will travel through until we get to North Carolina!  Looks like Mr. Heron wanted to celebrate with Lynda!

The birds in the area come flying in when the horn on the lock sounds, indicating the lock doors are closing.  They land on the lock door and feast on the fish that are trapped in the gate’s steel superstructure!

This bluff is where petrified sand dollars can be found.  There even have been petrified shark teeth found here!  Unfortunately, there is no way we can stop and search the bank!

I thought the rock formations in the following picture were interesting.  They were formed by hundreds of years of erosion.

Below is the remains of the Lone Star Cement Dock.  At the top of the pole is a painted mark that shows the high water mark of the flood in April of 1979.  That was an enormous amount of water!

Lovers Leap is a deeply cracked and colored rock.  There are trees with gnarled roots clinging to the cliff and Spanish moss hangs from the trees.  

Tonight we are in a lovely anchorage, Three Rivers Lake.  We are rafted with Sweet Pea and Loop Dreams.  Also, rafted in the anchorage is NautiNell and Blue Skies.
