Sault Ste Marie MI and surrounding areas

Castle rock from across the freeway.
Castle rock as we stood at the bottom looking to where we were going to climb.
Part way up the 125 stairs to get to the top.
After a short inclined walk to the platform (& the 125 stairs) Bil made it with his tongue hanging out. ha ha
A view across the valley from the top.
Th locks at Sault Ste Marie Mi. this is the Saginaw as it goes through the lock.Approaching the lock area.

The depth of the water when it entered was 54 ft down.
This shows the lock and gates as it is filling for it to pass through.
This is the water at 33 ft when they are ready to open the gates and let it continue passage.
This is how the ship looks as to height when it leaves the locks. Notice how much more of the ship can be seen above water than in the first photo.
