      ​@@rabbitridgeoutdoors3780that Lock was built about 1830 the raise the water level so barges could come up river and port at the Magnolia ferry crossing. They brought goods off loaded from ships at the coast and were met at Magnolia Ferry crossing (it's and Old crossing) by store keepers in wagons from a hundred miles from all around to get supplies. Most the barges sat there until the cotton was grown and collected to carry back down river to the ships that would travel back around Florida and up the east coast to New York where the Textile Mills were. That lasted until the civil war and the north blocked the shios and barges. Magnolia had grown to about 800 population, yet a real town. But after the war the Rail Road came and went through Palestine and Magnolia died. The Magnolia Crossing was the only river crossing until about 1920 when they built a bridge on hwy. 79/84. The road still goes to the river and you can see where the barges parked but there is nothing left of Magnolia. The locals still go fishing there, shoot their guns and camp. I live 1 1/2 miles down river from there on 90 acres with frontage, the fishing there is the best I have ever seen when you can get to it. Hahahaha, it looks like you had Fun on your trip : )

      Get you a good kayak. A stabile gear hauling kayak. I’ve got a sea ghost 130 and it can haul the gear but IDK about taking it through the lock n dams. Then again if it flips it’s easy to right and not that hard to get back in.
      Bonafides s127 looks like it might do it. Supposed to be super stable. But slower.
      Cheaper options are ascend kayaks. I’ve also got a ascend H12. It’s stabile but steers like a battle ship. Being hybrid between a kayak and a canoe you also need a good bilge system. 12T being a sit on top might do better IDK.
      There’s plenty of other options, many more that are hundreds to a few thousand dollars more expensive. But to a point you get what you pay for.
      But most of the kayak options will be cheaper than a Jon boat with a motor above 9.9 hp. Especially if you’re carrying a backup motor. Just not as fast

    I've slept in a tent on sand bars and got eaten up by ants. I learned to bring a net hammock to sleep off the ground, with much better luck, just bring skeeter spray. No tent, lots of skeeters.

    You guys need a bilge pump. I highly recommend them. My boat had a leak, and had i not have the rear one installed, we would have sunk our boat and get eaten by gators. and we carry life vest. W e took on over 10 gallons with the pump, and when we go in, it took us 5 mins to drain the water. The leak scared me so much, i had 3 bilge pumps installed and 3 batteries total. Overkill can save your life.
