Proud Panther's Journey

      Well, I hope your summer has been going well.  Proud Panther and I just returned from a two week trip to Chicago, Illinois.  Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.  These pictures were taken while touring the Chicago River.  I found it very interesting to find out that the Chicago River is actually 18 inches lower than Lake Michigan.  There are a series of locks that keep the water level lower in the Chicago River.  I will upload some video soon of a lock being opened.  In the meantime, enjoy some pictures of downtown.

Happy 4th of July
