Today I’m hiking the Chenango Canal Towpath…. πΆπ»
- Beautiful warm sunny day for a walk
- While parts of the Canal Towpath are kind of boring – especially south of Bouckville – the area around Woodsman Pond and the section north of it quite nice.
- The feed mill in Bouckville smells great – reminds me of going to the Applebee’s feed store as a kid
- Lots of smells of farm country – some wonderful some pungent – silage, corn, hay and manure – some of it quite fermented but thats part of the cycle of the year in farm country
- Some parts of the trail are a bit hard to follow – the trail is not blazed and only a few signs, some of it is just a farm access road along the canal
- There are a number of muskrat holds in the trail just waiting to sprain your ankle!
- I saw Corry Mosher at his farm had a big ol well used burn barrel. He’s a real farmer although he’s diversified in crops he’s growing in recent years. I wish he had won his primary, he might have beat John Salka and returned that seat to the democrats
- So many geese on Woodsman’s Pond
- I wish I had wore sunscreen today, I’m going to be burnt when I get home
- I wonder if I can can kayak the Chenango Canal in the future. Looks deep enough. I’ll have to research on the internet
- I can’t believe that I’ve never done the Chenango Canal Trail before
- I am very impressed by that silage bunk on Eddy Road, must be at least three or four acres and 30 feet high. That’s a lot of cow food for sure!
- Listening to the sounds of the crows and the gentle moo of the cows
- The line of cedars on the north side of the Canal is pretty and blocks the breeze but does nothing to provide shade
