View of Towpath from Kenmore Blvd.

Canal Square YMCA

North to Akron today.  We first stopped to take pictures from the Kenmore Blvd. bridge.  The bridge affords a great view of Summit Lake and the floating boardwalk section of the towpath here.  We then spent about an hour at Summit Lake.  We took lots of photos of the cormorants who are usually here, and we also some some coots, which we hadn't seen since January.  Afterwards, we drove north to Spaghetti Warehouse, parked in their parking lot, and walked north towards the Canal Square Y.  It was pretty today, and many of the leaves had already fallen.  We kind of like this, because it allows for greater visibility of both scenery and wildlife.  We have spanned all four seasons now, and will have another bit of winter before we are done!  (Oh, by the way, we dined at Spaghetti Warehouse after our trek!)
