We left Mohawk, Lock 7 with the intention of only going to Lock 10 and staying at Riverlink Park.  It was only 20 miles and 2 Locks.  It was such a nice day and we were going through the locks by ourselves, so we decided to keep moving.  After Lock 14 we called ahead to Lock 15 to see if there was room on the Lock wall to spend the night.  It was reported to have 1 power pedestal so we called the lock to see if anyone was on the wall.  The Lockmaster confirmed that no-one was on the wall and there was power.  We decide to continue on.  We got tied up and power around 2:30 in the afternoon.  We walked up into town for dinner at the The Table restaurant.  It was a nice place to eat, but you can tell that Covid had an impact.  Dinner was very good though.

Views of the Locks and Canal

They do a pretty good job of removing debris from the Canal

We had considered moving ahead, but glad we didn't.  It was another 2 Locks and 20 miles until the next stop and we really did not have it in us.  It was a peaceful night on the wall and only 1 other boat came in.  There was only room for 2 boats so glad we got here early and got power.  

Sausage and rice soup

I had the pork chop with bacon and Marcia had the salmon.
