One can never say that dealing with the Delaware Canal is dull – especially this summer. As always, the Friends carry on – planning, implementing and helping, as friends do.

Peter Sperry about to undertake the installation of a Mile Marker.

Day 6 – Almost done.

All of the sinkholes in the northern section of the park were plugged and repaired. We began re-watering the upper section of the Canal at the end of April, and by mid-May the Canal was watered from Easton to New Hope. This is the first time in years that this section has been completely watered.

Pete Sperry and the upper Black Eddy Ready Response Team (UBBERRT), aka Pete Rosswaag, Larry Reinfeld, and Roger Keller were caught in the act of installing Mile Marker 46 by Dave and Audrey Barber from Massachusetts. Dave is the President of the American Canal Society and was ere to see how the Delaware Canal was faring.

History and recreation do mix. Canal Walkers visit the Thompson Neely House.
