Sea Monster at the Soo Locks

[mn brett]

No. Sad to say I haven't went very far from Home. My first goel is to make it to engineer days. But I am a Carpenter and the funds have been a bit low. So don't get to go. I am changing carreers and am going to start driving fuel truck,so hoping to have steady work. and than am hoping to take Our Camper and make it to some boatnerd events. Maybe some Nessy sightings to;)

Mn Brett, have you ever been to Lock Ness? I regard it as one of the more exceptional places that I have ever been. About on par with the Bloody Angle at the Spotsylvania Courthouse Civil War Battlefield.

No, sad to say, no new trips since we last talked. I'm not into the Facebook stuff, so I'll just have to watch for you here. Stop in, say hi every now and then!

Hi, Lady Pirate1. We didn't go last year. My Son and I do a 4 day trip every year. Last year we went to WV to see some old logging railroads.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Soo.

Well maybe a pint or two. I have also witnessed a Sasquatch up buy the Indian burial grounds on the Superior Point but have also had a few doubters. It is good to be able to pull You from the Bowels of looting and pillaging Lady Pirate. I have found this sight to be like Officer Friday on Dragnet.(just the facts Mam)

I know what you mean about "just the facts", mn Brett! This "room" has gotten very serious. :)

Sea monsters...sure MN Brett...sure. Been dippin' in the ol' grog again, have ye? :)

Lady Pirate1. Welcome back! Long time, no hear!

Thanks, MN Boater! I am here a few times a week at least, but I seldom post- just read. Most of the gang has gone over to Facebook. I tried to register there as Lady Pirate but it wouldn't let me, so I'm Violet Mae there- my "other" personality. LOL

Any more exciting boating trips since we last "talked?" :)

Glad to see you posting here. I miss your wit.

Will you be at Engineers Day? My Son and I are planning to be there.

Hi Les! I'm going to try to be there! Did you go last year? I love being able to see the boats so close up like that, it's amazing! The only way it could have been any better last year would be if the Stinson had been locking through! I did wait until midnight at the park for the Stinson, but it locked through later. I heard it from the motel. :)

Ah, MN Brett! You finally see what they dragged up out of the lock ducts from the ballast tanks of the salties. Lets hope it doesn't climb the Tower of History!

Don't know about the "sea monster" but can anyone fill us in on just what all the material is out there on the east pier? Was a great shot of the old timbers. What was that steal frame behind them? And too, is that a "new" building at the end of the pier? Seems like what I question was more traditional to what I have been accustomed to seeing over the years.

TIA

What a hoot !

Those are the old fender timbers that were replaced this winter. The Harvey will come and take them away before too long. Below is a little clearer shot from a slightly different angle . . .

Looks like a pile of some sort of construction debris.

I wonder if We could get lady Pirate to come and kick it with Her wooden led,or poke it in the nose with Her sword. Just to make sure it's for sure dead. If it's sleeping it could get dangerous for the people on observation platform. Or evan the workers at the soo.
