GL: Last try-Erie Canal

[Bob DeGroot]

Jim,
That link worked. Great article. Thanks for sharing.

Since one barge carries the same about fifty-nine 18 wheelers, perhaps fuel
prices and barge efficiency would be incentive enough to remove a couple of
the lower bridges on the Erie and the abandoned RR bridge South of Chicago.
Just a thought. With the Sea-Tel satellite dome, we're 21 feet air draft.

We leave Seabrook Texas October 1st (weather permitting) to start the
great-loop journey.

This is an article about increased use of the Erie Canal by commercial barge
