FOREST AND STREAM. 
[April 24, 1909. 
READY FOR A HAUL-OVER. 
as the Acqueduct, a stone bridge of sufficient 
depth to hold the water. 
At the city of Cohoes we found that eighteen 
locks were between us and Troy, in the short 
distance of seven miles. To save time here, we 
hired a wagon and drove to Troy. Here we 
entered the beautiful Hudson River, and pro¬ 
ceeded to Albany. It was a very dark night, 
and we experienced considerable difficulty in 
finding a suitable place to land. Quite by acci¬ 
dent we ran into a floating dock, along which 
were tied all sizes and descriptions of boats. 
It turned out that this was the best possible 
place we could have landed, as it was the 
Albany Y C. In the club house we found a 
couple of belated yachtsmen just finishing a 
game of billiards. They made us feel very much 
at home, and gave us the necessary instructions 
as to hotels, etc. 
In the morning after visiting the capital and 
seeing what we could of Albany in a short time, 
we started on our way again. 
At first we were not impressed with the 
scenery along the river, but as we got down 
toward the Catskill Mountains, it became very 
interesting. The tide bothered us considerably, 
as this was something we had not figured on, 
there being something like a four-foot drop 
clear up to Albany. After getting accustomed 
to the hours the tide was ebbing, we made the 
most of it, and rested when it was flowing. We 
took a half a day at Catskill viewing the moun¬ 
tains, and spent some time at Newburgh, which 
with its historical surroundings, is very inter¬ 
esting to strangers. 
Having our time figured just right, we landed 
at West Point in time for Sunday dress parade, 
something one cannot afford to miss, as it is 
one of the sights of the Hudson. 
Further down the Hudson we found the 
Palisades, all we had expected they would be. 
With their high walls towering above us, they 
made us feel very small indeed. 
One rainy night, when nearing our destina¬ 
tion, we made for a large building well lighted 
up, looking not unlike a large hotel in the dark¬ 
ness. We hailed a man walking a high wall, 
asking how we could get in, but received no 
reply. A little further along we had the same 
experience and began to get rather angry, as 
the rain was increasing. When we discovered 
that we were trying to break into Sing Sing 
prison, the laugh was certainly on us. 
We completed our trip on Aug. 26, landing 
at Knickerbocker C. C., 167th street, New York, 
just eighteen days en route, covering probably 
a thousand miles in all. 
To those contemplating a canoe trip, I be¬ 
lieve no finer vacation could be spent than a 
trip down the Erie Canal and the Hudson 
River. We certainly enjoyed every bit of it, 
and after seeing New York, with its many 
sights and visiting Atlantic City, we returned 
home, none the worse for wear.
