Day #30: Discovering Leonardo in Lyons, NY

Between Fairport, NY and Lyons, NY the Terrain Changes and gets Distinctly more Hilly

Leonardo da Vinci's Mitre Gate Design for the San Marco Lock in Milan, Italy, was used for All of the Erie Canal's 35 Locks

Lyons, NY, established in 1789 Once Produced One-third of the US' Peppermint Oil

26 Miles from Fairport, NY to Lyons, NY

The temperatures climbed into the 90's today but the Canal's 73° water coupled with the steady 15 mph western winds made the traveling comfortable. However, Nellie's air conditioner went on the second we tied up and the shore cord was plugged in.

Safely tied to the free wall in Lyons, NY. DBH
