Where?

Very nice, brings back good memories, my dad was a 30 year man with the Corps, first at Genoa, WI. Lock #8, then Promoted to Assistant Lockmaster at Lock #6, Trempealeau, WI. I was born in Genoa, and spent my childhood in Trempealeau, I was a very curious little boy and watched almost every lock through I could as we, (my family) lived in one of the Government houses at the Lock, I saw some very interesting things take place, tows hiting the wall, lines snapping, towboats getting sidways, my dad even saved a family as a cabin cruiser was swept under the main gates, I was allowed access to anywhere on the dam even the controll house, I was very respectful and didn't touch anything I wasn't supposed to!

Hello Dear, I have already visited your TH-cam channel. and analyzed the videos. Your videos are great & very nice but your video SEO and (search tag) optimization are very low. This is a big problem. Because of this your video is not getting views, likes, comments, subscribers and is not viral going .Video uploading is very important for SEO TH-cam channels need SEO and video promotion. If you want, I can create a report on your channel growth . I am waiting for your response. Thank you

I was lucky enough to be at a Sedona, Nevada timeshare resort (I'm from Winchester, UK) and managed one morning to see Maggie and her lovely critters. By giving each critter to us to handle she converted me from feeling nervous about them to feeling very protective of them. I can't find Maggie's website now so maybe she's moved or given it up, but the effect her and her beautiful friends had on the 20 or so people in the audience that day really was profound. People just need educating as ignorance is so commonplace amongst our species.

We used to love going to Dubuque and watch the tows and personal watercraft locking through. I wish I knew about Eagle Point Park back then. A much better view from up there. Thank you for the video.

Brought our boat from Mpls to Cairo, Ill on the Miss. Nice to see the locks again!!!

Hello from Germany

And it is being film from eagle point park its beautiful there

My home town Dubuque IA

The boat pushing the barges is 6000 horsepower and built by St. Louis Ship sometime in the 1980's. It is a carbon copy of the boat I rode for many years. The red and white tug is the Lisa Marie(at least it used to be) formerly named Pro Tow, and is used to help guide the barges into the lock chamber safely. The Pro Tow was sunk by heavy ice near Burlington IA in 2012(?) on its voyage from Paducah KY. Over the next couple years, it got a new bottom and stern. I personally did a lot of work on it before it was sold to the present owner.

Interesting! They split the tow up to get through the lock! So...how do they power the first half of the tow to get it out of the lock? Is there a tug we don't see in your video?

Great quality video, man!

Love how that one deckhand just stands there with his thumb up his ass.

nice video👍👍

Why do they call them tow boats, they don't tow they push

I Worked on all the navigable inland waterways on the Mississippi River system from 1959 until 1966 the year I graduated from college owing $150.00. The river provided me with funds to establish a base for the rest of my life. Now that I am 78 years old and had the sense to invest all my retire with Berkshire Hathaway 27 years ago, money has never been a problem with me. Life is simple, people make it a lot harder than it has to be.

Growing up in that most beautiful area created a love for and respect of nature that drives my life. River floods are devasted our off-channel property so we upgraded to cruisers moored at Dubuque Marina just past Lock 11 where this is filmed. The bluffs overlooking the locks are frequented by eagles similar to Starved Rock lock on the Illinois River which I also visit for hiking. Our great and powerful rivers deserve respectful admiration. Commercial traffic supports all the navigation and provides us with unmatched area recreation. Go there, see it, enjoy.

this looks like something from adult swim

stop calling the boats a barge. there towboats

I was surprised that 3000 people were counted for at this local fair.

brings back so many memories. very boring making a double locking on the upper

Wow! That is absolutely beautiful!

21st Century and the Americans still have no winches on their barges! Unbelieveble that they still work the way they did in the 19th century!

cool I'm in Sedona now nice critter collection do you usally show them alot. :)

Music is perfect for this lovely garden & landscaping video. You did a wonderful job BBB & your neighbors did as well! Truly a showplace for the neighborhood & Platteville. I'd like a walking tour sometime. GB

perfect

I was on the Temsco tour just two and a half weeks ago and like you, the scenery took my breath away! An absolutely unforgettable experience! When I get some time, I might upload my video of the glacier ( I have to edit the parts when I lost focus; still getting the hang of using my camera)! We saw an active waterfall, but not as large as the one you filmed in this video! One of the guides tossed a huge rock down into the chasm, and the entire tour group was amazed with the time it took for the impact echoes to stop as the rock took its LONG fall to somewhere far below!

só espero que os norte americanos não deichem o para o em rio Mississippi morra cimo o rio tiete

Just like dogs playing. Great video!

Has this lock been upgraded to the 1200 foot from the 600 foot locks ? This will cut down on the time and waste and help feed the people of the world ! Eyes UP and lights down, tjl Sent by Win7Pro64 w/ADSL

Being a former towboater seeing this video takes me back to when i was a mate for steel city and inland marine i miss the money but not the ruff times that came with it

Do u know what the name of this song is??!!

That was beautiful :)

That was a pretty good video for a couple of old bats in Denmark.

Smart ppl. use the metro!

I was born & raised in WI,I've lived in SC for 31 years. We don't get much snow here,so I thank you for posting this. It brought many wonderful snow filled memories back.

I sang "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads right after the fire at Brothers on Second for karoke on Thursday Night with Kieleroke.

Not yet... It has been low. I heard last week that 30 miles of it had been closed to Barge traffic. They have had to dredge in some places along the river. Possible ..we may get rain from "Isaac" this weekend.

Has the river risen a little bit with the remnants of tropical storm Isaac coming through?

Thanks a lot!

I talked with Dave Niehaus of the Platteville Fire Dept... You need a year of residency in the city of Platteville first. There is extensive training to go through ....but they do accept college students as volunteers. Here are the phone numbers you can use to receive specific answers to your questions. Fire Dave Izzard Fire Chief 348.2313 Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Brian Allen EMS Director 348.1835 Hope this helps...

I am Planning on attending UWP, does anyone know if students can join EMS or Fire departments?

I couldn't believe CB's was burning down when my sister texted me this morning. I have good memories there, and now its gone. I feel so bad for anyone effected. Thank you for posting this, showing not just the fire, but those who helped there.

Holy shit.... You have one VERY nice camera...

is aep hiring exp hands im trying to get back on the boats and having no luck plus there is a way to make the coupling up faster with lots of rags and spectra lines like we use to do almost forty min in lock with my method
