Usually we are wandering around in the woods, but occasionally we do something different. Today, 16 hardy hikers spent 2 hours wandering around downtown Rochester and nearby. We peered into the old canal aqueduct and noted interesting historical architecture. Since there had been heavy precipitation the previous week, the Genesee River was full and roiling, helping us imagine the potential power of the River before the Mt. Morris dam was built. At the High Falls overlook we found a new-to-us observation deck with a see-through grate deck. On the way back we passed through the Corn Hill neighborhood, admiring the beautiful old houses.
