If ya been here these will most likely bore you, if not they may be of some interest.
Left Sunday afternoon after the wife got home from work for Niagra Falls, had to make a short stop at the nieces graduation party for some food. Might as well get a free meal on the way!!
Got on the road about 6PM, later than I had hoped but oh well!
Got to the KOA in Lewistown, NY about 9:30, nice place, clean, neat and quiet. I'm not particularly fond of KOA but it was there and had the best price, we stayed in a tent site which didn't make the guy particularly happy but the website let me do it and I told it I had a trailer. He said it's not supposed to do that but it does sometimes. I really didn't care, he could have put me in another site, place was only about a third or less full.
He told me just to pick a spot and this is where we ended up.
Not a bad spot really.
Monday we went on the prowl. Wife wanted to see everything but first things first, straight to the big water!
For the adventurous among you we have this little honey of a ride
We didn't go on it, not even sure where you got on but they claim in all the years it's been there they've never had a problem with it. I figured I'd best just stay off it in that case!
Then on to The Maid of the Mist
American side, it's no wonder nobody's ever survived that fall!!
For comparison, all the yellow spots are people.
Canadian falls, it was raining hard down there!!!
My camera was soaked, wasn't sure if it would ever work again.
Now a few from the Cave of the Winds
A rainbow in the rocks, pretty cool. I didn't know if this on would turn out or not. Wasn't more than 30' from me. Still didn't see that damn pot tho!!
We did go to the Canadian side to see it too. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! Especially with a trailer. They, just like their American counter parts, felt that you should not be able to park anywhere close if you have anything other than a car. So we did drive down the road adjacent to the falls and saw them but we never even stopped the car and got out.
The stupid border crossing sucks too! Going over there is nothing clearly telling you what to do or where to go, you gotta kinda guess what they mean. They got a bunch of stop signs that say" 'STOP' proceed when clear", that's what I always do at a STOP sign.
Well that ain't what they mean!!! You're supposed to just sit there like a dummy till they come get you I guess??
Got lots more but I didn't want to bore everybody.
BTW- The wifes Explorer preformed admirably pulling the trailer for the first time. Pulled it without even knowing it was back there.
Nearly 190k miles on the clock and it got almost 18 mpg up and back, only about a half mile or less loss from normal averaging 70-75 mph.
