Canajoharie August 25th, 26th The Village of Canajoharie, Riverfront Park Stopped here for a few days to visit the museum, art gallery and see the pot holes and waterfall. Lovely parkside setting with power (no other amenities at the dock). Our first night and morning brought rain but then it cleared up nicely.

Countdown
The Countdown is on.

Tried to approach the wall in Lock 23 but blew it. Didn't crack up the boat though. Sylvan Beach No power at Sylvan beach, washrooms and showers at the beach, but you would rather not use them. Went for a bike ride around town as it happened to be bikers night here. Lining up with our biker friends
