As I told you it was Sunday midday when we headed towards Nashville from the RV camp.
On our way we saw a sign mentioning "Old Hickory Dam".
As Dams' fans we took the next turn and in a few minutes we found ourselves on the banks of a nice lake created by the dam.
We headed to the other side of the dam. We saw a tugboat pushing up stream a huge platform loaded with coal.
I was wondering where it was going to, because it seemed there is no outlet for it when it will reach the dam area.
It took the right side of the river near the bank, moving slowly towards a long structure... and slowly but surely disappearing between the walls of the structure until it was completely swallowed.
A local guy was guessing that it will reach the other side of the dam after gates will be closed behind it, and the level of water behind the gates will reach the level of the lake on the other side.
Panama Canal!!!
