i highly recommend it. today was a busy day, i spent the day with my sister. later in the evening i laid down on my covered swing in the backyard and took a nap. it started to rain, not real hard at first. in fact the canopy shielded me from most of it, and it really just felt like a fine mist under the protection of the canopy. eventually it stopped raining, it was great. later it started to pour, needless to say nap time was over.
my sister is on vacation this coming week, and she mentioned she’d like to do a little trail walking, i have to hand it to her, she did 3 miles in 2 hours time with me today, and kept pace. we did a section of the towpath trail, and i admit i picked it because it’s a flat trail and would be an easier walk for her. we drove up to the canal visitor center and walked 1.5 miles up to lock 39, and then back.
in 1832 the ohio erie canal served as a pathway from lake erie to the ohio river, was 308 miles long and consisted of 146 locks. today only 6 miles of the canal still has water.
