A Trip on the Canal

What a beautiful day for a field trip.

I was able to join Micah on his class field trip to the Augusta Canal.

We toured the museum, and road a boat 3 of the 8 1/2 miles of water.

It was a cool crisp morning; we saw the many textile and gun powder factories.

Turtles sunned themselves along the water,

and the kids kept a look out for snakes and "gators".

We learned a lot about this important canal, how it helped

Augusta during the Civil war, its length ( 8 1/2 miles -all dug by hand)

and 15 feet deep in most places.

If you ever come to visit us, we will take you to see

this historical and lovely place.
