| The calm Erie Canal |
As we continued our trip on the Erie Canal toward Waterford from Tonawanda, West to East, we decided to stop at the towns we had skipped on our way West. We bypassed Gasport and stopped at Middleport for a quiet night. Middleport is a village of about 1300 people and most seemed to be somewhere other than in their little town area. We did get to chat with some locals who told us about the local chemical company that had arsenic spills that got into their ground. OOPS! Don't know if that's such a good place to raise a family!

From Middleport we traveled to Holley, a "bustling" town of 1800 folks, where farming is the main source of income. They do have a beautiful waterfall we found and then found it from above.

Thanks Middleport and Holley for your generosity and for welcoming us to your communities.
