The journey from Trent to Frankfort was probably the most meh we have encounter, nothing bad, just nothing exciting to see along the way. For the first time, it felt like we were commuting from point A to point B. However, once we completed the 6 Nautical Mile journey that took three and half hours with 5 locks with were rewarded with beautiful night of peace and tranquilly at the bottom of Lock 5 near Frankfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our plan was to stay the night at the top of Lock 6, but since it has power, there was no room. Since we don’t really need power, we decided to stay at the bottom of Lock 6 and wow, it was a great decision. We were alone in a park like setting that provided peace and calmness. We enjoyed the picnic tables and grass area to rest, eat and take it all in. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Lock-tenders walk in a circle, cranking the lock door open. Heather and Tracy thought they would give the workers a break and take over opening the gates for a while. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not much at this lock station except for a few farms up a dirt road. The area made for a beautiful stroll. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
