Geocache Description:

An old lock along the Enlarged section of the Erie Canal.

Lock 59, was built between 1839 and 1841 in a section of town once known as Upper Lockville. Enlarging the canal became imperative by the mid 1830's as user demand outstripped the capacity of the original Clinton's Ditch-era Erie Canal. Instead of widening the ditch, engineers would plan an alternate route, then excavate and build the new enlarged section nearby. Most locks, like this one, were made deeper, longer and wider to accommodate larger barges and heavier cargoes.
Lock 28b of the current Erie Canal has been in use since 1914. The lock house from here was removed and installed across the street in 1913.

Your looking for a medium sized plastic Systema container. A few trade Items and travel bugs would fit, just don't bend up the log book trying to jam in stuff that wont. After the third time this has gone missing, I hid it much better to protect it from muggles. Make sure it stay's covered so that muggles don't toss it into the canal. Have fun and post lots of pictures, thanks!
