It worked a successful post from our laptop. You guessed it we are in Niagara Falls literally. Got here yesterday about 2 hours from Seneca Falls. Staying in a campground on Grand Island N.Y. We set up camp and headed to the falls. The whole area around the falls is a state park. We walked a lot but first we rode one of the Maid Of the Mist boats up to the falls. While I'm not fond of traffic and crowds this definitely was worth every bit of the effort. I don't get the romantic part of the falls but I guess after being married for 51 years it just looks like a big water falls. Adventure for sure though, maybe a little romantic. Lorraine has taken about 5,000 pictures and we have driven about 5,800 miles. I had the truck serviced in Maine.We have been out about a month. Headed for Michigan and going north around Detroit. Then up north and cross the Mackinaw bridge. We might check out Mackinaw island.
I'll write up a summary at the end of the trip and for those of you considering a similar trip we can visit. There are 2 major falls here American Falls and Horseshoe falls. The battery on my phone died early yesterday after I took lots of pictures. Lorraine captured the falls being lit up at night and has some pictures of that. I'll see if I can get a few off her sd card from the camera and post them, stay tuned. It's raining again October 4th a.m.
This is Horseshoe Falls
American Falls
They supply ponchos but still plan on getting wet
American Falls from on top
They take you in even closer than what you see here.
This is under Horseshoe falls
Both falls
Cave of the wind where you can get even more wet. We passed on this one
Looks like raspberries on the boat
As you can see by her expression this lucky tourist had a surprise visitor when she bent over to feed a squirrel. I bet my grandson Joey could pick it off with his bow and arrow. Kind of a William Tell and apple thing.
