We traveled through only 2 locks today to get here but spent about 5 hours on the water.\u00a0 Doesn’t matter though as the weather is cooperating and the skies are blue.\u00a0 Same old, same old on the Erie Canal at this point.\u00a0 We reached Holley which is really the last nature style port before we start into the industrial style port of tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Holley had so many surprises for us.\u00a0 A beautiful park complete with a pond and fountain.\u00a0 Bike paths, walking paths and nature paths through the woods.\u00a0 We managed to find a gorgeous waterfall at a park just after the canal park.\u00a0 With water so high this year she was flowing with tons of water.\u00a0 Aiden and Scott couldn’t wait to explore.\u00a0 They found their way around the waterfall to the top and then down the other side.\u00a0 Now they are out on another nature walk to explore even more history.\u00a0 An original train station is still here and is now a museum, but it is closed.\u00a0 Next time hopefully we’ll have the opportunity to visit there.\u00a0 There will be a next time.\u00a0 This sleepy little town has all you need.\u00a0 The terminal wall has water and electric with gorgeous views and parks.\u00a0 Very quiet.\u00a0 The grocery store for supplies is a mere 5 minute walk to town.\u00a0 Although it is shut down for Saturday it is interesting to see all the old buildings from the original canal days.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow we travel to Tonawanda and keep Conductance there yet again.\u00a0 Our yard is still a flood zone and the grass is dying there so to keep her clean she’ll have to stay in Tonawanda.\u00a0 It is so close for Scott for work anyhow.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
