| Starting the Erie Canal to meet the Oswago Canal |
 |
| Basic idea of the first part of the canal The first 5 Locks are really close together - all in a 2 mile stretch |
 |
| Approaching Lock 7 Lock is on the left and the dam on the right |
 |
| Entering Lock 7 to raise 27 feet |
 |
| All the Locks today had slimy ropes to grab |
 |
| You can see the dam from the boat as the water raises |
 |
| We are now 197 feet higher than when we started this morning |
 |
| The scenery is really pretty |
 |
| This is a Guard Gate. In the event of a break in a canal wall, it can be lowered to isolate the damaged section. |
 |
| We are anchored near shore at the mouth of a small creek |
