These are photos of the first lock we went through on the Dismal Swamp. Robert the lock master has been there forever. He is the nicest man and plays a conch while we wait for the water to rise. The first lock raises the boats 7-8 feet and the second lock lowers the boats 12 feet. Robert invited all the traveling dogs to get off the boats in the lock area and play while we waited for the water to fill the lock. There were about 5 dogs all together and they all got along well. The Dismal Swamp was lovely and the weather was sunny and comfortable. History of the area will follow in the next update.
I am making an effort to get better about taking photos. These are with John's droid.
