Tuesday – Day 60 – 9/30/08After carefully following the channel markers as well as the advice of those who know the river we made our way back to the canal and entered lock number 7. We slowly cruised north enjoying every colorful mile we traveled. The fall colors are getting better with every mile we move north. We did four locks two lifting us and the last two dropping us. Tonight we are staying on the wall in Whitehall, NY.
There is a lot to see so we will stay an extra day here and move north Thursday and pass through our last lock as we enter Lake Champlain. There is a museum here that I truly wanted to visit that is closed during the week after Labor Day, except for special occasions. We are one of three boats here that have requested that the Museum open up and they have agreed to open it at 10 am tomorrow. The two boats we are now traveling with, not by design but by circumstance are heading to the same region in Vermont then turning around and heading south. They have been out for four months today and have one more month to go. We all went to dinner together tonight and had a very nice time. It’s amazing how many friendly people we have met since leaving home eight and a half weeks ago. Barb will take the computer to the local library tomorrow and play catch up with our blog. I think we are both feeling a little down as we know our boatin
g adventure for this year is coming to a close.
