Had a nice breakfast and hung around camp for a little while. Then we went exploring.
First stop was Albion, NY. This town is on the Erie Canal. The canal is not used for transport anymore, only pleasure boats go up and down the canal. The towns along the way have docks with power hookups for the boats to overnight at. It's like camping on the water!
Here's the boat docks in Albion.
The bridge in the pic is a lift bridge. When the bots want to pass the bridge lifts up for them. I'm not sure, but I think the bridges are on a schedule. There are lift bridges in most of the canal towns.
Here's a mural in Albion.
Next stop was Medina, NY. Same as Albion, a canal town.
Some of downtown Medina.
Another view. These towns are really old and the buildings are really interesting.
A few more pics.
We stopped at a really nice farmers market near our campground. Picked up some peaches, a few munchies, and a pie for desert tonight. And of course the sweet corn is in season, so we could not pass that up.
One more day at this park, then we are headed home. Only two more entries on this blog!
