A few photos from yesterday's Erie Canal visit.



This map shows part of the Erie Canal.  We were in Lockport.


The sign showing the locks numbers--the final two on the canal.



Showing how our boat was lowered by the lockmaster who controls the water flow, and the gates opening once the water level is even.  You can see by the dark line at the top how high the water was to begin with.  It took only about 4-5 minutes for us to get to this point!

    There's a fun Erie Canal museum in Syracuse on, of all things, Erie St. Yes, it is the filled in portion of the canal.
