Good choice

Many of the locks in the Welland Canal have a bascule bridge at one or both ends of a lock. Lock 8 has a bridge at both ends. One of the line handlers at the lock has to go to the end of the lock to operate the mechanism to open and close the bridge. Most choose the provided golf cart to make the trek from the centre of the lock, but there was another option at Lock 8.

It was heartening to see that the Lock Master made the better choice.
