After riding our bikes into the nearby town of Geneva on the Lake---proud acronym of GOTL, this was our first beach and crystal- clear fresh water swim...it was chilly but refreshing. GOTL was gearing up for a 4000 Harley motorcycle invasion that weekend....yea, we split before the rumble took over.
This beach was my first beach for metal detecting----and worst skunked day of metal detecting....nada! Oh well...increasing my odds for that BIG find someday :)

(thanks Chris for digging up this photo!)
Notice the new tall buildings on the Canadian side since the above 1962 photo
Niagara Falls was the first time since the Grand Canyon that we heard more non-English speakers....this time instead of Asian, it was predominately East Indian, and the food kiosks around the town were that of Bollywood etc....very colorful. That night we curled up in our van behind a church within earshot of the falls great roar and the massive fireworks show was only drowned out by a huge thunderstorm that seemed to echo around the horseshoe-shaped falls.....really cool. Like other great inspirational places on earth, we couldn't get enough of the power/awesomeness of the Falls.
NEXT>>>>>New York Mountains>>>>
More water---into the beautiful Adirondack State Park for a night on Piseco Lake...so much clear water everywhere!
