June 9 - Waterford, New York

After a rainy morning, the weather cleared enough for us to walk to Lock 2 (the first lock on the Erie Canal) to get our 10 day lock pass and have a great conversation with Leroy, the lock-tender. We then got a personal tour of the tug, "Urger", which was built in 1901 and went into service on the canal in 1922. Later in the evening we went out for dinner at "McGreevey"s", an excellent local restaurant. Charlie will be leaving us tomorrow, and George's sister, Pat, and our brother-in-law, Al, will join us tomorrow night.
