End of Day 5 |
 |
To me, the highpoint
of the trip was the canal ride on a barge drawn by two mules as
it would have been during the heydays of the Erie Canal. |

Prior three photos
were taken at Fort Stanwix. |
 |
Below two photos
represent one evening's entertainment - a five-person folk
singing group who were great. We also had a Native
American talk about his people in this area. He has a gift
shop of Native American crafts which some of us visited the next
day prior to starting our designated route. |
