We head south again on the Rideau Canal about noon and go 20 miles and through 4 locks to Smith Falls.
Most of the locks on the Rideau are hand operated by Parks Canada employees. They say it is a nice summer government job.
Linda geting ready for another lock as we line up the boat to enter.
This is a larger town and we do a self guided walking tour. Not as much charm as Merrickville here. There is a Canal Museum (closed when we get there) and a Hershey Chocolate factory (too far a walk). We are docked at the city park, where there are a few marina spots (with power tonight for KOKOMO II) combined with an RV campground.
Canal Museum is in building on left.
Historic home - now a Sushi restaurant.
I can't believe you're not getting hundreds of comments on this great journal and adventure. I read all the way back.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your looong wonderful trip.. Oh well, maybe I'll go put said envy into a song now.
