Hurry Up and Wait

We were up bright and early to make the Gilmerton Highway bridge opening.

So was everyone else. And we all milled about for over an hour. The bridge would not open until TWO trains went over it.

Okay. A slow start. But, it had to get better. Didn't it? No. There was a barge blocking the Great Bridge lock. LUX and 17 new found friends had to wait 30 minutes for the barge to move. Then, we all stuffed into the lock.

Then, we had to wait between the lock and the Great Bridge bridge for more vessels to make the lock before they would open the bridge.

Now, the parade is finally moving. But, there are 2 more swing bridges in our future. It is turning into a long day.
