The Peterborough Lift Lock

Walker and I left Tuesday 7/6 headed to the lock 30 Lovesick. This was the day from HELL had to many margaritas last night. I got sick the entire day and cant even keep water down and it was hot all day. Walker didn't fell sorry for me either. Had to do 10 locks and I can promise you this will never happen again...................
This lock was pretty cool each of the two pans weighs 1300 tons when filled. When it is time to lower one pan and raise the other, on extra foot of water (130 tons) is allowed to enter the upper pan. This extra weight allows the upper pan to push down and raise the lower pan to the top level.
