Niagara Trip

Aug 3 - 5, 2007
On Friday, Aug 3, we left from Mason and picked up the rest of the participants on our way to our first walk in Erie, PA.  Harris, Sue and Maryln did the town walk and the rest of us did the alternative route in Presque Isle State Park.

There's Greg, Tricia, Diane, Eunice and Chuck.

 

After the walk, we headed to our hotel in Buffalo, where we split up for the evening.  Then on Saturday morning, we headed to Niagara Falls.

 

This was the first of many rainbows we saw during the day.  This is looking across the Niagara River at the hydro-power station on the Canadian side.

Looking up from the bottom of the Cave of the Winds tour.  You can see the Hurricane Deck, which was where we got to have the water from the Bridal Veil Falls come down directly onto us.

 

My favorite view from the Cave of the Winds tour.

Everybody was tired on the way back to Buffalo.  On Sunday morning only five of us did the Buffalo City walk.
