THE ERIE CANAL AT LOCKPORT, NEW YORK HEADING FROM BOSTON TO THE MIDWEST I DECIDED TO MAKE AN OVERNIGHT STOP AT LOCKPORT, NEW YORK AND TAKE A BOAT RIDE ON THE ERIE CANAL. MOST PEOPLE HAVE HEARD OF THE ERIE CANAL BUT THAT IS AS FAR AS THEIR KNOWLEDGE GOES. IT WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR THE HISTORY OF THE CANAL AND TAKE A RIDE THROUGH LOCKS 34 AND 35.
