Waterford, NY to Canajoharie, NY










The Mohawk, Hudson, and Champlain Valley gateway of History


Waterford Visitors Center and boat dockage




A shipyard that build Barge Canal boats






                                   Take Time docked at the visitors center in Waterford, NY


The water flowing out of the lock getting ready for us to go in




Ok another whaleback, My Cyn this makes 3 of us in the Canal system (very unusual)


The falls over the dam as we travel up the lock



Sunset on the river in Amsterdam, NY




The Tug Urger was tied up on the wall in back of us in Amsterdam


A little foggy when we left Amsterdam, but it cleared up within an hour



We saw two baby coyote's just as we were going into the locks, the Mama could not be far behind



Canada Geese are everywhere, and their poop is also!!!!!!!!!!




The Dummy Light in Canajoharie, and if you google it this is what you will see there are only 3 in the United States



This building was a school at one time, and Susan B Anthony taught here, they are making condo's now




Canajoharie is also the home of Beechnut, babyfood, gum, candy, etc




An old fort in Canajoharie



Wayne swimming at the Boiling Pot, which is where the name Canajoharie comes from.  It is a Mohawk name for the pot that cleans itself.
