Coming south on the Champlain Canal, we locked through the entire canal in one day ending up at the Waterford, NY Visitor Center. We had completed the Triangle Loop and gone through 59 locks!! We reviewed our guides and stowed them away but not before commenting on a NYS Canal brochure that states "Map the Unexpected" and "create vacation memories that last a lifetime". Well, we didn't do the Great Loop as expected and our memories of the NYS canals will be with us forever! 8/19/06
