What would we do? It gives us much to talk about, much to complain about and every once in awhile much to be happy about!
Live report from Jordan - "the red-winged black birds are back in CNY". This is a good sign. Right?
Sick of winter in CNY? Take a vacation via the internet to Bora Bora.
have fun.......http://www.boraboraisland.com/

Thanks for asking. I am still out here. I sure wish that this would become more than a 2 party line. Not that I mind responding to JordanNY, but I would really like to hear from some of the other people that read this. I would really like to see some pictures from the 50's.
I have fond memories of the "Low Bridge". I had never heard of it referred to as the "Kissing Bridge". That was most likely due to the age I was and my interests of the time. Too me it was the "Fishing Bridge". In the spring when the level of Skaneateles Creek was low enough for you to walk across the bridge without getting your feet wet it was the beginning of fishing season for me. On the way down there from home I had to stop at Johnny MacNabb's Jordan Supply and pick up the very latest in fishing gear. I fished from the bridge and along the bank up to the falls at the South wall of the canal. Every year I expected to haul out some giant brook trout, but it never happened. All I ever caught was horned Daces and an occasional salamander. I never gave up, I just knew that it was just a matter of time before I would hook that brookie.
I do not remember, if I was ever told, what the purpose of the aqueduct was. Were there gates across the 4 openings that closed them and allowed Skaneateles Creek to feed water into the canal and also help regulate the water level with all of the snow melt in the spring?
If the red-winged black birds are back, maybe the "snow birds" are heading home from the South and will shortly be filling these pages with their latest adventures from the lands of no snow and warm beaches. I hope that there are some that can answer the questions that I have left in previous comments. I am looking forward to that.
