Yeh, you're going to get this comment twice. Dammit for crossposting, belonging to the same communities and not paying attention to where I'm freaking posting! ;)
Pretty cool indeed. When you take the car ferry across the Mississippi around here you can see those all up and down the banks but to get to them is another story. :/
When you said locks and dams I was thinking of something like this: http://www.parish.iberville.la.us/municipalities/plaquemine/lock/ and I was looking everywhere for the lock and dam. Lol. Next time we got I shall have to take pictures of it. I hope the guy is really cool again as he was this past time. The top of the lockhouse where they directed the boats and sounded the horns is shut off to the public but he was lonely so he let us go up there to keep talking. The view from up there was spectacular. :) Maybe when we go to St. Francisville I can talk Randy into riding the boat across and taking pictures but I think he already has us booked up. :/
Frankfort's locks and dam wre probably very similiar to that, although not on as large of a scale as the Mississippi River. If I had had my camera with me while beside the dam, I could've taken photos of the the old lock structures on the opposing bank. The one photo I have here of the dam, you can't see it because it was obscured by the vegetation of the banks, since I was on the same side as it.
There's one small lock and some remnants of the old lockhouses, some still standing that have been converted into use by KY-DOT, and some are just the remains of stone foundations, walkways, and steps. I definitely want to go back and photograph all of that, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
