Railway Tracks before we get to the Lock - The Bridge is so Rusty I did not Think it was in Use - But Surprise a Train went Over Just as we Tied in the Lock
This is not Snow but Pollen from the Cotton Wood Trees
Little Falls, New York to Rome, New York - A beautiful day, sunny and warm. The canal travel today was strait and boring, but still had to keep your eyes open for the dead heads and debris. The canal belongs to the government, so I think its is a make work project and they will take there time cleaning it up. There was also a few extra buoys to mark shoaling that has recently formed. They do guarantee 12 feet of water but we did mark 7 1/2 feet. New York Canal system seems to have a quantity of dredges, tugs, and barges but perhaps not enough manpower or funding to use them all.
This is Saturday and we seen very few boats out, a few fishermen and that is about all. We arrived in Rome and tied along the wall with 6 other looper boats. We did have a get together so we could meet other loopers. Fun was had by all.
