Twelve Loopers locked through LaGrange Lock together after waiting for a tow to lock through. Once we exited the lock, there were four large tows waiting to lock through upbound. This is quite unusual as commercial traffic has priority over pleasure craft but we were all mighty glad we did not have to wait for all of that traffic to lock through as it would have taken HOURS for them all to get through the lock. We waited long enough that several Loopers had dropped their anchors until we got the green light to proceed into the lock.
We had a wonderful dinner of slow cooked brisket and vegetables at the restaurant and enjoyed talking with the owner.
