This time through the Oswego Canal we made a short stop in Phoenix NY...seems they have a group of school aged kids (including special needs) that work the city docks. These Bridge House Brats help with lines, maintain the dock (tables, chairs, flowers,etc.), and will even "run" for food from various restaurants. The docks were delightfully maintained...and, of course, adult supervision was provided by educator types. If there had been electricity we'd have stayed the night...but it was already taken. We had cheeseburgers and fries, chatted with everyone there...some even got a geography lesson on Kansas... and then headed on into Brewerton.
