Today we walked the dog, Gus, along the Towpath Trail from Lock 38 to Alexander's Mill.
(We hiked the "first" section of the Towpath Trail that follows the old Ohio & Erie Canal on
July 6, 2014 from Harvard Road to the Marcy Trestle. We started at the Canalway Center near the trestle and walked to the overpass of Route I-77 on
November 9, 2014. On
December 26, 2014, we walked between the I-77 overpass and Quaker Steak on Canal Road in Valley View. On
September 27, 2015 we hiked between Quaker Steak on Canal Road and Lock 38.)
