Just back from a wonderful afternoon with Jeff and Fanny exploring the fishing access areas along the Erie Canal east of us. We're very familiar with and like Lock 18 at Jacksonburg very much but Jeff wanted to see what else the Canal had to offer. We checked out the fishing access area in St. Johnsville first. We met a young couple and their dog, a chocolate lab, who just wanted to play ball. Fanny wasn't sure what to make of him at first but before we left she wanted to run after that tennis ball, too! We visited the boat launch across the river at St Johnsville, too.
Next stop was Nelliston where we crossed their lock to look at the river. Fanny wasn't too happy doing that! Then we headed over to Canajoharie. They have both a boat launch and a fishing site and their Riverfront Park is beautiful! Jeff thinks living in Canajoharie might not be too bad. We haven't figured out how the locks were numbered. Lock 18 is Jacksonburg, Lock 19 is Little Falls, Lock 33 is St Johnsville? What happened to the ones inbetween?? We had noticed driving thru that gas was cheaper in St Johnsville and planned on filling up on the way home but by the time we made it back to that station the price had gone up $.10 a gallon. We ended up filling up in Little Falls and getting cold drinks for the 3 of us which cost $5! (2 bottles of Coke for us and a bottle of water for Fanny.)
