One
of our favorite destinations is the Erie Canal,
which originally began in downtown Buffalo, and
later when the canal was widened and renamed the
Erie Canal Barge Canal, the canal began, and still
begins, at North Tonawanda on the Niagara River
where Tonawanda Creek empties into the river.
We have biked in five-mile bites from Lockport
to Brockport, and we've rowed a time or two, too. |

I took another detour to the canal today to see if there
was any more progress on the draining effort. I went over
to the Guard Gate below Middleport. It was sunny and cold,
and beautiful. I got a lot of pix of reflections in the
water, and I took some pix of the Guard Gate. One side
was down near the water and the other was still all the
way up.
