The Soo Locks aren't closed yet, but expect to be closed this month.

1. In our daily movie-pick quest, we watched Arthur (1981) starring Dudley Moore. I absolutely love that scene where he went to the wrong apartment and encountered Barney Martin (who played Jerry Seinfeld's father, Morty).
2. Re-watched the episode of Dirty Jobs where he was at the Soo Locks in Upper Michigan. My favorite episode!
3. Starting to plan my packing list for an upcoming road trip with my dad.

She does a great job with all her videos - but this one on the Soo Locks should be a must watch!
Want to shut down the U.S. Steel Industry? Stop taking care of the Soo Locks.
A few years back, when maintenance issues created an outage - members of the U.S. Congress had to be educated on just how critical the Soo Locks are.
This was an unforgettable morning and a unique scene that will never happen again. The John B Aird lake freighter was decommissioned in 2017 (this photo is from 2007). Also, I was at the Soo Locks before 6 am to capture this shot, but visitors are no longer allowed to enter the park before 9 am.

Growing up, I spent many hours on this observation deck overlooking the MacArthur Lock at the Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. There is a 21 foot difference in water levels between Lake Superior & Lake Huron. The locks are 100% gravity-fed and require no pumps. The largest lock (Poe) needs 22 million gallons of water to lift or lower a boat!

The Soo Locks are a way for ships to travel to and from Lake Superior to Lake Huron and the St. Lawrence Seaway. Years ago, we had the opportunity to watch a lake freighter go through the Soo Locks just after sunrise. It was exciting to see such a huge ship close up!
