Last Full Day on the Canal





Today was the last full day on the Erie Canal. No locks but we went under 10 lift bridges.  The day started in Spencerport with some boat washing by Captain Rick and ended just 30 miles down the canal in Medina.  We walked around town and Vick stopped for some retail therapy. 

In it's a small world category, we talked with a couple from Vermillion heading east as we waited for one of the lift bridges.











Before dinner we walked down the tow path to the point where the Oak Orchard Creek, runs under the canal which is as much as 80 feet below the elevation of the canal.























We also passed over Culvert Road, built in 1823, which passes completely beneath the Erie Canal. Can you find the car?
