The Ditch

So the Erie Canal is 363 miles. Wouldn't have guessed that one.
I said 120, since you know it is 270 miles to San Antonio and New York isn't that big of a state. I also figured they would take the shortest route possible and cut north. But they didn't. So I was left to ask, why didn't they just cut north?



I thought about it. Then I remembered, oh yeah. Niagara Falls, the whole reason to dig the ditch in the first place. Silly, Kate, Trix are for kids.
