Monday Sept 7: Seneca Falls

So the 'falls' in Seneca Falls is no more. They were flooded when the first canal was dug through the area so no walking to falls today! We went through a double lock on the way - in one lock, up about 20 feet and directly into a second lock with another lift of 20 feet. I'm sure there used to be more than just two locks but couldn't find any info anywhere.
Anyway, we found out the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" was filmed here! So that was pretty fun. There is a Clarence Hotel (named after the angel of course) that we didn't take time to see along with a museum right next to the canal. Since it's supposed to rain in the next couple of days, we decided we could see that stuff on the way back. The plan has changed - we're going to go to Seneca Lake since we are only 10 miles away.
It was a full house at the docks - first time ever. Steve of course was moving boats around so one last person could get in - we've been in that position ourselves (thinking that if everyone just squeezed together there would be room for us) so it was nice to be able to help someone else out. Chinese for lunch - breakfast place scouted. Life is good....
