July 10, 2009 Friday NIAGARA FALLS (LOCKPORT)
Now this was interesting...as we left to see Niagara Falls today there were police all over the road outside our campground which is in the middle of a lot of corn fields. There was also a police helicopter circling overhead. They were searching the corn fields for some excaped prisoner or something. We all hoped they found the guy before we came home that night. So, about Niagara Falls, it is so spectacular! We went on the “Maiden of the Mist” boat which takes you right by the American Falls, Bridal-veil Falls, and right up to Horseshoe Falls, as close as is safe. Boy did we get wet! It’s amazing how you can feel the power of the water. After that we rode the trolley over to Goat Island and rode the elevator down to the riverbank. Then we proceeded to climb some stairs that are right alongside the Bridal-veil falls. Once again getting very wet! Fortunately these venues give you plastic ponchos to wear to keep your clothes “mostly” dry. It is a beautiful and powerful view from this spot. Very much fun. We then went back to let the dog out and grab a bite to eat. I was having a bad fibro flare so I went to bed. The three musketeers took off for Canada. They took pictures, shopped at the gift stores and got lost! Eventually they showed up back at the CG and we all went to bed, exhausted.
