We made it to Niagara Falls today! We rode around the park and
observation areas on the US side admiring the rush of water, the
sudden dropoff, and the pounding surf below. And since we had the
foresight to bring our passports "just in case" we biked across the
Rainbow Bridge to Canada. FYI - the toll for bikes is 50 cents each.
When the Canadian customs officials asked how long we planned to be
there we answered "about an hour. Just a stroll along the view and
back." It was tempting to continue the trip in Canada but then would
not be biking across America. Tonight we are camped in an empty lot
right in town but hidden by trees. This will be our second night in a
row with thunderstorms, but we are experienced enough at this that we
got the tent up just 15 minutes before the rain started. . . . It took
us 2 weeks to go from Boston to Niagara Falls. It feels like the first
section of this trip is complete. Tomorrow we start the section that
will go along the south shore of Lake Erie and then up into Michigan.

You two sure know how to have fun! Would not have guessed you might camp out in town!
ReplyDeleteLooked at Google map and spotted Presque Isle Park on a large sandy spit of land at Erie, PA, into Lake Erie - described as Pennsylvania's only "seashore". Don't know if there is any camping (but that never stopped you before). Also there is Lake Chautauqua in western-most NY, with a lot of parks nearby. Could be scenic.
Good luck, be safe. Dad
Thanks for the info. We may check out the Erie peninsula... it seems pretty congested all around it. Sounds fun though. Yesterday we rode past the chautaugua area and it was very pretty... In fact we are in Chautaugua cnty. Having too much fun!!!
