A Moment in History - Upper SAF Lock Closing for good

It was very exciting to be the last paddlers to use the Upper St Anthony Lock, which closed this evening.  RIP Upper St Anthony Lock.

I hope you enjoy the images and videos I took as we passed through the three lock system. The paddle into Minneapolis was overshadowed by the lock experience, which in itself was breathtaking. Another highlight was a celebratory dinner at the home of River Angel Alice Kuenzil.

Good times!

Jon Linn unexpectedly catches them coming out of the lock.
