WY or MT but I hate cold.
Nearly as long was the Ohio & Erie canal that went from Cleveland to the Ohio River through the entire length of the state. Built entirely with picks and shovels, something like 52 locks. By the end of the Civil War, railroads had nearly put it out of business. Some portions and some locks still exist. When I was a kid, I ice skated on it in the winter when it froze over. The canal ran very close to our home, had a lock almost in our back yard.Right on Q. Here’s what the Erie Canal or Big Ditch as it’s commonly referred to looks like in the winter. They close the gates and drain in down in several locations due to ice. This pic was taken yesterday. You can see how wide and deep it is. The Hoosiers must have been good but let’s give the mule some credit too.
So far as I know, most of the Ohio-Erie canal has been filled in and very little of it remains as it was. When I was a kid, most of the local portion in Scioto County was intact. But today, except for a few short sections of the canal bed and at least two locks (or more accurately the ruins of two locks), it has been filled in and paved over.
So is Mike Tyson a Hoosier?![]()
North Idaho has gone seriously Californian. Much of the open to riding, hiking, hunting large sections of private forest land has been closed due to irresponsible abuse. The money laden transient ex coasters just would not respect the unwritten rules of Do Not Steal the firewood, Do Not Litter, Do Not carelessly cause wildfires. After 20 years, I also would like somewhere to go.
