#3 in Hunt Challenge - Emptiness..Empty
Lock #28A and most of the canal system is empty of water for repairs and maintenance. When in use this lock will hold two million gallons of water. The canal system will open May 1st.
The sand looking material in the lock is in fact Zebra Mussels that have come from the Great Lakes.

Locks are so interesting. I saw one working for the first time this past summer. Very important for industry & keeping the water where it's needed. Wish California had a better system.
