Remains of Lock 25 of the Enlarged Erie Canal in Rotterdam Junction, New York. The 8 foot lift lock was built in 1848 and further enlarged in 1890.
This is a closer look at a section of Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 31. This was a double chamber lock with a 6 foot lift. It was built around 1850 and later lengthened in 1888. This view is at the east end . It would be the south wall of the north chamber. Most of this lock is now located under Route 5S. The part that remains is right next to the highway ( Route 5S ) on the south side, just east of Sprakers. Pay attention, it's really easy to zoom right by it.

Most residents in this area of the city live in tall apartment blocks - a lucky few will have stores such as this. Sometimes they are a hive of activity, but often they seem deserted - the metal doors firmly locked to deter any intruders.
Teen SRC Lock In 2014
Teens who read over 25 hours over the summer were invited to attend the library's after-hours lock in party. Teen Librarian Cathy hosted the event with other library staff to ensure all had a "Wild" and Fantastic " evening. Activities included, Jungle Jewelry, Jungle Masks, Face Painting, Animal Hunt, Animal Bingo, Jungle Jump rope and best wild animal call contest! Teens munched on Monkey Fruit, Cheetah Chow, Licorice Snakes, Monkey Droppings and Zebra Cakes as well as the main fest of a Serpent Sandwich! The Teens left after 4 hours of jungle-fever-fun with a goodie bag to remember their "Jungle-tastic" good time. We would like to say Thanks to our Friends of the Escondido Library for sponsoring this final event for our AWESOME, Teen Readers!
Locking through Muskingum River Lock #2 at Devols Dam in Devola Ohio.
Throughout the history of the Northwest Territory and the early years of Ohio statehood, the Muskingum River was not easily navigated. In the spring the river would flood and uncertain currents made travel treacherous. During the summer months the opposite was true. Many times the water levels dropped to the point that river travel became impossible. Residents of southeastern Ohio were looking for a way to utilize the river and thought they had an opportunity when the Ohio legislature began discussion of a canal system for the state. Those people were disappointed when the Ohio and Erie Canal bypassed the Muskingum River. By lobbying the state legislature they were able to convince politicians that improvements on the Muskingum River would lead to improved traffic from the Ohio River into the state.
The new project was known as the Muskingum River Improvement. Construction began in 1836 and was completed in 1841. Improvements consisted of a system of eleven locks and dams that made the Muskingum River navigable from Marietta to a feeder canal south of Dresden Ohio that connected to the Ohio and Erie Canal. Residents were pleased as the river system now encouraged economic opportunity in the region. The Muskingum River had hand operated locks that were designed so a boat could pass through each lock in about fifteen minutes.
It's much colder today but the challenge gave me a reason to at least go out and get a few minutes of sun, a bootful of snow and frozen fingers. This gate is locked but if you walk about 2 feet you can go right around it.
