    This was a great adventure! The locks were great. The culvert was intriguing. So were the cows. I am glad they didn't get too upset. Thank you for taking us along, Cliff.

    very interesting kind of walk. by water wading, but good way to see the journey and path of the Lock. Good. the cows were nice, had some personality...

    When I was a boy growing up in Delaware County, I explored tunnels. I heard voices. I traced them to people standing near the storm drain.

    I also remember this one garage at a farmhouse where my dad got me a job cutting the grass had a few panels covering this quick moving water channel.
    Turns out that it was an underground river that went underneath their garage. The water was ice cold and so cooling on a hot summer day. Though with how quickly the current was moving you would be swept away if you tried lowering yourself into it too far.
    Unfortunately that old farmhouse and garage are gone now.

    Lol - angry cows. That's never good! We had a cow chase us in Mount Rogers two years ago when we were doing a section of the Appalachian Trail in Grayson Highlands - and it was a bit scary! Nice perspective of walking down the water like that! The tunnel was cool - but a bit creepy! Fantastic view! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY

    Hi Cliff, I would love to see how far that culvert goes, I'm guessing the voices you heard were coming from a drain cover where the kids are playing in the street next to the drain. Those Weeping Willow tree's on the right of you at 17:00 were beautiful, they are one of my favourites.
    Fun fact, those metal pieces you were talking about that locked the 2 stones together were being used by the Ancient Egyptians and the Mayan's.
    Haha the cows were probably angry because you were walking in their water supply lol. Both locks were in a really good state which is awesome to see.
    Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

    Over the years I 've been on Rt 501 but never realize or knew about the canal. The pipe is a storm sewer most likely. I just watch "200 years on the Erie canal and "The Ohio and Erie Canal"" It connected Lake Erie to the Ohio River. I also watch " Chestnut Trees returning to The Forests" How they are crossing Chinese Chestnut tress with the American Chestnut trees. It was very interesting. The canal videos showed the locks and how they work.

    We had a tunnel of some sort underneath our basement floor in the one spot.
    I don't know if it was a mine tunnel or an old sewer line but it was definitely interesting to see.

    Wow, sloshing through all that water wore me out just watching you. cows were cool. In a way you really took the bull by the horns on this trip. The locks were in great condition with even some metal work still intact. The drain pipe is probably a storm/rain drain into the canal from a paved road/development/park area. If the children were near a culvert/intake playing I'm not surprised you heard them. The tunnel/drain amplifies much like a bull horn you would hold to your mouth when speaking at a gathering. I doubt it runs under homes, If you could hear children in the home playing normally think how loud that rushing water would be under the home during a heavy downpour/storm.

    I never knew that culvert was there! I go through here quite often. Fascinating. I’ve never seen the lock near Race Street…wow!!!!! It looks great!! The lock on Fairlane (lock 7) I visited a few months ago, as that is on public property. Lots of poison ivy there in case you want to go down to the water…..😲😬 I am really enjoying this series in my own ‘back yard’!

    The tunnel might have a drain grate somewhere farther up, near a playground, and the sound was coming down thru. I'd love to watch you explore it, though.

  • @rikspector
    @rikspector 2 года назад +2

    Cliff,
    If your able, sure ,give it an explore:)
    This area of the creek/canal is so peaceful, I love those old trees plats and the widlife along the banks.
    Wading or canoeing really does give a different perspective, I remember canoeing through towns and feeling as if
    I were in the country.
    Thanks,
    Rik

    I can tell you were absolutely stoked (pleased) with yourself when you managed to walk through lock 8E, with those huge blocks of stone high above you on either side. Such a scenic creek walk and when you came up to that pipe opening, it actually surprised me. Could it be a storm water pipe? I say that because it looked quite deep below the outlet into the creek.

    Definitely explore that culvert! That would be cool. I imagine the children's voices are from ground level, near a grate in someone's yard perhaps? Or maybe some adventurous youngsters exploring the culvert? 🤷🏼‍♀️ We did that kind of thing as kids, I wore out the knees of a new pair of jeans exploring a culvert when I was 10 or so. Needless to say my parents were not too happy with me. 🙄
    Love seeing two locks in such amazing condition! Walking through Lock 8 was neat.

    • @edbelledin9600
      @edbelledin9600 2 года назад +1

      Guessing a loaded boat draft would be about 3 feet or so depending on boat size and cargo; average water depth 6-8 feet depending on the season, lock depth. and weather. If I rightly recall the Delaware Canal Easton to Bristol PA paralleling the Delaware River in most areas, was engineered so that there was about 150 of elevation change over its length of 60 miles .
