This is Vickie going through the Lake Erie canal locks. The locks take the boat up 25 feet twice-very cool. It is an amazing ride down the tree lined canal that was very important in the early development of our nation. Driving through upstate New York was just beautiful. Small towns with older well-kept homes that hold so much history and class. We then went to an orchard that was part of the underground railroad to assist slaves in gaining their freedom. It is a working orchard but still has the tunnels under the barn that were used to hide slaves seeking freedom. Just amazing!
