A Trip Back in Time

This is an old canal boat floating on a short section of the old Walhonding Canal. This was a spur canal which tied into the Ohio and Eric canal system. These boats were pulled by mules. This system became obsolete with the advent of the railroad.
Nice piece of history captured.

Lovel shot and scene bringing back fond memories. We used to rent a barge on the canals in France and spent any wonderful holidays there. The mule paths were used for cycling from village to village.

Lovely shot. I am glad I am not a mule. Must have been hard work.
