A Wash Out at Niagara


We left late on Sunday morning. It took us more time to winterize the cabin then we had expected and delayed us about a couple of hours. We had hoped to make it to Niagara Falls before dark but had to stop for the night about 26 kilometers west in St Catherine's.....Canada's wine country. Actually the campground was in the middle of a vineyard!

It rained all night, real hard with high winds. The good thing, the RV doesn't leak! That is the most rain we have ever experienced on this journey. The bad thing, we couldn't see the Falls when we drove through Niagara. It was very misty and the rain was even heavier. Neither one of us felt like getting cold and wet looking at falls that we have seen in another life time! So we continued east through up state New York along SR 104, which is a two lane paved highway passing through some quaint very small towns, mostly farm land. The tree colors look to be about 30% turned. We plan to continue up I-81 along the northern boarder following the St Lawrence Seaway and Thousand Islands. Hopefully will be into Vermont tomorrow. And we are hoping for no rain. Hard to take pictures or even stop along the way. It is very cool, damp, and dreary. The forecast does predict more rain for the next few days. But that won't dampen our spirit!
