The Seaway System (or rivers up here)

My brother-in-law, D from Vancouver Island (again- far, far away from here), sent me a cool link for the seaway system up here. Now, I know I should know more about the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence River, etc., but I don't. I know a little. The Great Lakes are big. Yeppers. Lots of lakes there. Can't see to the other side, really big. And the St. Lawrence River is a big river, and south of Montreal Island, and really BIG ocean ships go on it. Big. Yep, I know a lot.

The site explains a lot about this system. Ships can come inland from the ocean through to the great lakes. That's pretty far. And these ships drop off and pick up stuff (think cars, etc).

Yep, no ships. Gee, I wonder why.

This is neat. It shows you the area and you can click on the Montreal section. Then you can click on distances or ports or how locks work. I really should have paid attention in school. But I wasn't interested then-I am now.

To give you an idea of where we are now, and where we will be in terms of Larry's office . . . here ya go. Dang, I am teaching y'all all sorts of things. LOL, yeah, right.



This is the photo from above. I am not sure if I have the house, but it is either that one or the one next to it. Hey close enough.
