June 30 - July 1, 2007 . . . Ilion, New York, on the Erie

From Little Falls to Ilion we came through Lock #18 with three other boats. A short lift of 20'.


Ilion is the home of Remington Arms. We toured the museum "Where the history of a company tells the history of a country." In the museum I found the same shotgun that was my father's. Nice town with many stores. Today there will be a fish fry and cook-out here at the marina, with a band. We will join them after going to church.
