Maid Of The Mist  (boat ride up to the falls)

 
Journey Behind The Falls

It rained last night, but every activity at the falls gets you wet anyway (quite a collection of colorful disposable ponchos) so we weren't too worried, except that we needed more umbrellas for the walks between attractions.  The photos weren't quite as spectacular either with lack of color and contrast, but the blowing mist makes it very hard to get a decent photo anyway, so that's a wash (and a bad pun.)










An early afternoon back to the campground for naps, laundry, RV maintenance and swimming.


Today's lesson is more of a research project.  Help identify this strange creature that was crawling about at the bus stop.
