Town lift bridge in up position. Here, the train tracks were just to the north of the canal, so when a train was going by there was quite a traffic jam. Lots of tourists in town and one of the things to do way take pictures of the boats going under the bridge.
Many small towns on the western half of the Canal have low docks, restrooms & power either free or a reduced costs.
Plaque on entrance to Fort Owsego. Pretty good summary of history.

Two Bears in "living" mode. The plywood sheet that covers the cabnet is now placed over the helm seat greatly expanding the work surface.
Town of Minetto town dock. Power advertised, but not turned on. Orange on bridge behind us is setting sun on under side of bridge.
"Low bridge, everybody down" is the song we've all learned in grammer school. This is one of the early bridges sold to a farmer when the barge canal was built. A flood damaged it and it was then salvaged by volunteers. It was rebuilt to display the first iron bridge in the world. Note the rocks on the abutment. It was built by heavy equipment by the volunteers. It does not have near the workmanship quality of the old hand done stone work.

Headed east, we spent our first night in a road side rest in Lolo Nat Forest. We were greeted by the sun and a horse group setting out on a trail. Good way to start a boat journey.
