Clearly we need to spend a million dollars a year (that's a guess) keeping the lock open for these cruisesMy guess is for the cruises that operate from Bohemian Flats.With closing of the Upper St. Anthony locks, why keep the Lower locks open or the Ford locks? Is there anything above the Ford locks that needs barge access?
