It was Fall Break week and so after talking to Austin Newton of Molecular Biology I decided to head to the canal with Jane for a walk. We passed through this tunnel under route 27 and looked out at the trail ahead until we got to the first informative board about Spillways and next to mile marker 22 (which is pretty much the half way mark) as we walked on past wonderous views and reflections (was sometimes hard to know which way was up)

and then observed this sign as we made our way to Little Valley and then back to the trail and on to mile marker 21 and more information about the spillways before we reached the Griggstown Lock, our goal for the day and watched the water flow and observed the warning signs as we looked into the lock and then began the trip back, bypassing the Silver Maple Trail which looked good but capturing the information about the locks as Jane fixed her shoes and demonstrated proper strides and passed through Rocky Hill but took a few tries before we could clarity on the story of how the canal was dug but after another mile marker and some inspirational words from Blake we came to see mile marker 24 (north) or 20 south from which we could see the end in sight and celebrate a great walk.
