Mid-Lakes marina from Google Earth. Image taken in winter when Eire Canal is "empty" Note the boats shrink wrapped.
The owner of a steam boat needed to go to the bank in a town about 10 miles away. So, he spent 20 minutes to fired up the boiler, another 20 to launch it (lots of talk with on-lookers). A half hour on the canal. Ten minutes in the bank, 20 minutes getting ice cream cones, and then back to the marina. He knows how to set priorities.
Finally in the water. The Canal had a leak and they closed just east of Lockport. So we found "Mid Lakes Marina near Masdon, NY. It held 2 C-Dorys in it's 30 boat home goup and the owners group was having a pot luck that night and had us join them. Penny was really glad to get Two Bears in the water. "It ROCKS" she said.

Sunrise camped alongside the Mississippi River south of Dubuque, Iowa. River low, fields dieing due to drout.
Headed east, we spent our first night in a road side rest in Lolo Nat Forest. We were greeted by the sun and a horse group setting out on a trail. Good way to start a boat journey.
