The CS Canal straightens the original path of the Seneca River, and it has been widened and deepened. The banks have a very low rise as the canal cuts directly through the Montezuma Swamp. It’s obviously a man-made section and an almost perfectly straight shot from the Erie to the first lock, CS1.
I have always wondered what cows do when they are not being milked. Farmers turn them out to pasture and they disappear. Where do they go?
We passed this group about half a mile after the turn. There was no sign of civilization on either bank. No houses, no docks, no barns. The perfect cow getaway!
At first glance we thought they were just relaxing on the beach, but it turns out they were taking the Corona Beer commercials to heart. (Do they have TVs in the barn?!?)
I saw no purses or wallets. And cows don’t have pockets, do they? Where did they buy the beer? How did they pay for it?
After thinking about it for a few minutes, I came to the conclusion that they weren’t that different from us.
They were living their own version of the Great American Escape Fantasy.
I wanted to stop and have a beer or two with them but as I said, there was no dock.
