    @Rhamlin are you bragging or complaining?

    He said Illinois life, that means he's complaining for sure.

    I love that old lift bridge! What's with the black boat? It resembles a small pirate ship. They filming a movie up there?

    That's a replica of the Nina. I missed the Pinta. I guess the Santa Maria sank.

    We just run back and forth. Every two days we turn around. Between Lamont and Hennepin.

    I live near Joliet, 10 miles from Lemont. I drive over the Des Plaines river 4 times a day at Lockport and Lemont.

    I really like the pictures you posted, thanks.

    Lol. Well they are supposed to be floating. Typically we fill them with cargo and they float unless you hit something and sink them.
