Grand Canyon East

Lechworth State Park is called the 'grand canyon of the east', and I can see why.  Amazing views of the canyon, the winding Genesee River,  the panorama of hills and valleys, and the waterfall.  Today was our trip to see the sights there.  I've never been.  Gerry doesn't think he has been either.

With today's record temperatures of 100 degrees and above, it was a good day to spend in the nice air conditioned car,  which is where we were most of the day.

We did hike one of the trails, but we were in the shade the whole time.  We are enjoying our "day trips" this summer seeing sights within a hundred or so miles of where we live.

Traveling there we went the southern route, and traveled through many small towns we had never heard of before. New York State if largely rural!  Traveling back, we took the northern route, or the thruway.  The one thing that go lost in this process was eating.  By the time we pulled over at a thruway rest stop, it was three o'clock and I had not eaten in seven hours.  Next time we'll have to do better.

  The rest of the travel list is as much about seeing people as it is about seeing places.   There's Long Island coming up, and Vermont.  There's Buffalo and Silver Lake.

Summer is over half over!  But after a day like today, maybe that's not such a bad thing!
