I'm going to Albany, NY, next week and am bringing another canal-related TB to the great Erie Canal, so I'll bring Cousin Bubba's Geocoin there as well.
Completed in 1825, the Erie Canal, at 363 miles long, is one of four canals in the NY canal system, altogether stretching an impressive 524 miles. The other three canals are the Champlain, the Oswego, and the Cayuga-Seneca.
Here's a few links regarding the Erie Canal (& other NY canals):

Oh, yeah, this was also my first Geocoin--yeee haw! Thanks!
