Lock 7--up and down and up again

We decided to stay at Lock 7 for the night on the top side. We went into the lock and were raised up. The lock master told us that the down side was better so he lowered us down and we backed out of the lock much to the surprise of the people waiting to go up. We have a one way pass through the locks. We had a very comfortable night and went through the lock again the next morning.
