Parts of it follow the old Erie Canal where it was expanded. I've taken short demo hops the old Erie Canal and we used to skate on the Erie Canal in the winter because the ice was smooth and clear. There was a big wide water (turn around spot) in Fayetteville. Eventually a lot of walking and cross country trails were set up. <br />But the water, even where it didn't stink, just never tasted good.<br />I hope the book lives up to the chills of the interview for you!Susan Alice Bickfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589613998841757711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-60226223022470212492017-04-26T20:15:31.400-04:002017-04-26T20:15:31.400-04:00Reading this interview gave me the chills.

At some unknown to me point in the trip on the NYS Thruway my father would pull over, there would be a pipe with a spigot protruding from the rock face. My parents would fill thermoses with awful stinky water and make my brother and I drink it. They drank it too, but they seemed to like it. We called it rotten egg water and were sure they were trying to murder us. Of course, it was an offshoot of the famous sulfur springs.Kaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07758348842858993203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-47333321795960333492017-04-26T15:13:32.645-04:002017-04-26T15:13:32.645-04:00Saratoga Springs is a beautiful part of the state,...Saratoga Springs is a beautiful part of the state, Shari.
