INEDIBLE LOCKS

On a recent trip to Indian Lake, Ontario - in the Thousand Islands region of Canada, we experienced much scenic waterfront beauty and got to see our very first hand-crank wooden lock in action. On the way to our destination, we observed shore fronts that were lined with decaying boathouses, once colorful and steadfast structures that are now slowly descending into their inevitable state of disrepair. Clear water, clear skies and clearly welcoming local inhabitants made this adventure an unforgettable one - one we hope to duplicate in the very near future and one I would recommend to even my worst enemies (if I had any).
