Waterfalls, Waterfalls, Waterfalls & Wings

Hickory Ridge RV Park
Holley, New York

When we left the 1000 Islands area, we drove to Holley, a small town west of Rochester, NY.
Derek, Sarah and Sophia joined us there for several days of intense sight seeing before continuing on their trip to Montreal.



Holley Falls





The first day we visited Rochester and made stops at the science museum and the George Eastman House.






Letchworth State Park was our destination for the next day.  It is dubbed the "best state park in the US".  The main draw here are three waterfalls.
Some of the falls can be seen from the top of the gorge, but one required a hike and 127 steps down to the river.  It seemed like about 5000 steps back to the top.











For the third day in a row, we went to see waterfalls.  Obviously Niagara was the best.















At the first attraction, we received blue raincoats.  At the next place we
added yellow raincoats to our fashion collection.

We ended the day with these red raincoats for the boat ride to the falls.

We made the mistake of recycling our raincoats instead of saving them for lunch.  We picked a restaurant with a view of the falls and naturally we selected a table on the open air top level.  This area had the best view of the falls but what they didn't tell you was this area also got the most water spray.  It's hard to read the menu with rain on your glasses.  The food was great but I still felt like a vegetable that got continuously misted in the produce department.

On the last day of their stay, we visited Buffalo.  I didn't know there was a different language for that city.  Did you know that the word "medium" on the menu really meant "extra hot"?  We enjoyed the Buffalo wings anyway.
