August 7 to Lyons,, NY

This is where we started the day after a nice walk around town.

Jennie and Fred enjoying the ice cream shop.

A canal boat passed us and we pass them in the next town

Nice murals under a bridge in Newark, NY

Another pic, can see the people peaking out at the doorway.

Can you image what it would have been like to live here in the early 1800's

Looks like the person will come across the bridge.

Port of Newark had a lot of restaurants on the water.

We usually traveled at 7mph with about 10 feet of water.

Scenery was very nice with very few boats.

A tug just above a lock.

These old barges were just sunk in the coves. I wonder if they could use them again?

The last lock of the day, number 27

This lock has a water falls adjacent.

Jennie is ready go down about 16 feet.

Lyons is the place we stayed for the night. They have very informative signs that helps you get a feel for the area.

This pic shows the building of the lock that we just came down.

If you would bike or come down on a kayak you can pitch your tent by the fire station and use the restroom. You would not believe how nice everyone is and the pride that they have in their community

You can take a virtual tour. This may be a town of under 5000 people, but they are embracing technology.

Here is a link so you can see the virtual tour.

Virtual Tour Lyons, NY

From where we docked with free electric and dockage you can see the waterfalls at the lock.

The wall was high, but we did ok getting on and off.

They have a Gazebo in the middle of town in front of the court house. Some of the pics are murals, but this is not and it actually looks like a mural.

This is a mural of downtown when it looks like they had street cars.

Good cabin rules.

Another mural, they have them everywhere.

This little girl reminded me of the little girl in the movie "Polar Express".

The drug store had a mural of a time since passed.

Garth Brooks even had a good quote in one of the shops.

The theater was fantastic, I thought I had stepped back in time.

We saw "The Legend of Tarzan"

This is the court house, really a pretty building with a beautiful night sky.

Veterans Memorial to every branch. 

The welcome committee of Bob S volunteers to meet people as they come to the dock and he  has a wealth of information.

Winnetou is comfortable on the wall. Free dockage with electric.

Our neighbor on the wall.

Remember the old Gulf gas stations that looked like this. I think that is what this was at one time.

Here is something else you do not usually see, but I remember these on my street.

Garth Brooks came up with this saying, pretty fitting for us.

Can you make out the lettering on the soap?   LAVA

Bob S our greeter, took this picture and the next one. 

Bob S took this one from across the canal, you can see the sailboat across the way.
