EDIN Notes:
Today adventure features a trip to the Erie Canal locks located in
Lockport, NY, near Phil's sister home in nearby lockport, NY.
We visited the locks on a recent trip to the locks with Phil's mother,
Jo Ann and Phil. A historical perpective. In the early 1800 trade
between western NY and downstate NY was difficult, but that changed
in early 1800 when Gov. Dewitt Clinton proposed and built a canal
connecting Upstate NY to Hudson River ( and then down to new York City.
This canal vastly improved trade between upstate NY and downstate
New York City. As a result of canal being built a number of town
sprung up along the canal routes. One of such town was Lockport, NY.
In certain areas of the canal an elaborate systems of locks were
built to level the level of water throughout the canal.
Today's slideshow features Phil. Jo Ann and Phil's mother visit
to the Lockport Locks and travel down the canal in downton Lockport, NY
