The other day I was biking on the Delaware Canal and I passed by the Delaware Canal state park office. To my surprise I found the kayaks that we used on our trip! I just thought it was cool to see them again.

Today we traveled to the water treatment plant. I found it really interesting that the gates there used the same type of mechanism as the locks on the Delaware canal (as shown above). I guess if it works well there’s no reason to use any different system.
This is a camelback bridge along the canal in Upper Black Eddy, PA. On Saturday, 9/7, the tour guide for the river trip mentioned that there are 6 of these bridges along the canal. The other 5 have been repaired, but this one has yet to be started. It can be walked across, but a vehicle would probably fall through. The bridge was originally built so that the farmer who owned the land on both sides could still access his land when the canal was built. These bridges are a historical landmark and beautiful feature of our area.
