Today we lifted through three locks on route to Canajoharie. Our tie-up was at the Riverfront Park and then we walked around the town. Unfortunately the Beech-Nut Factory which fueled the town's economy for decades is in the process of closing down, and that, along with the difficult recovery from the flood of 2006 has affected much of the business life of the area. We toured the Arkell Art Museum at the Library which contained works by many famous American painters. We also purchased meat at a shop which was a combination butcher, furniture, and handbag store! Unfortunately the weather went downhill, but we returned to the boat for a wonderful steak dinner aboard.
