I love you. I love you. I love you, Canada!
So, today, a 10 minute walk from my apartment in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, this is what happened . . .
It was a beautiful sunny day on our Trent Severn-Waterway, a 240 mile-long canal route connecting Lake Ontario to Lake Huron. Its scenic, meandering route has been called "one of the finest interconnected systems of navigation in the world".
This is Peterborough's famous Lift Lock built on the canal in the early 1900's. The lock's dual lifts were the highest hydraulic boat lifts in the world up until recently, raising boats 65 feet! Conventional lifts at that time had about a 7-foot rise.
Today, we had some Canadian-style fun with this old lift . . .
Yup - we all crammed into the lift.
The gate closed . . .
And up we went!
Ha! Bring on the Molsons!
