Herkimer, New York

What a delightful little town that has everything that you would ever need.

It has a Walmart, Tractor Supply, and just about any business you can think of, alongside some local ones.

And more serious looking churches with spires that I have ever seen in one place. There were three at Four Corners alone.

On the other corner was an old historical Jail.

So I took a walk around Herkimer while the weather was making up it's mind what to do and when it cleared up I moved onto lock 21 and I am waiting here overnight.

As you can see, I am the only boat here and I have seen very few other boats all day and certainly no other cruisers. From what I understand, the other Loopers, (that's what people are called who are doing the great loop) were all here a month ago. I went to the Walmart to buy a sleeping bag because it has already started to get chilly. Last night it got down to 53 degrees....... that's fahrenheit...12 Celsius, is cold in my book.
