Niagara Falls

We had planned on riding a path along the former Erie Canal in the Buffalo, New York area. We decided to stay at Niagara Falls the night before our planned ride. That evening we rode around the paths at Niagara Falls State Park, ate at the Hard Rock cafe and then went back to the falls to view them once the lights were on. This was my 2nd trip to the falls, Nova’s 3rd. At some point we realized the jacket Nova was wearing had been to the falls every time she had been first back in 1999. The following day it rained so we didn’t ride the trail we had planned but hit the road instead for trails elsewhere.
Before we left the area we drove up to see Lake Ontario and somehow found ourselves on the wrong side of the U.S. border waiting in line to get back in to the U.S. with no passports. Other than looking like idiots and holding up the line for a while it was uneventful and we eventually were let back in and did make it to Lake Ontario. We’ve now been to all of the Great Lakes.
This ride was part of our Fall 2012 vacation.
