After experiencing Niagara Falls, nothing else quite compares, but we still enjoyed exploring one of the state parks in our area. Letchworth is interesting because it is only about 14 miles long, but there are three different water falls to see in the gorge. They claim that it is "The Grand Canyon" of the East. Well, whoever coined that phrase probably never went west of the Mississippi, but it is a fun place to visit, especially when you get there and realize that it is "Biker Day." I learned a lot about Harleys and those who ride them, plus there were two different wedding parties wandering around snapping pics in front of the falls. Who knew that nature could draw such a crowd?

All five of us, by the Upper Falls.
Multiple rainbows are visible around the falls, luckily, they do show up in the pictures.

This is pretty much what Western NY is like. There are literally trees everywhere on gentle rolling hills. It is green as far as you can see in every direction. But what allows for all of this luxurious green? Rain. Lots and lots of rain, and then there is the humidity factor, lately it runs about 85 percent. No lotion is needed, but we have learned that there is true wisdom in waiting to shower until the end of the day. I have never sweat so much in my life since moving to this area, but hey, it is green. No one can debate that.
