We drove out to Goat Island right away in the morning. We walked over by American falls, and Horseshoe Falls. We took pictures around there then drove back over to where the signs said Niagara Falls. Neither of us realized, until then, that the 2 falls we were looking at made up Niagara Falls. This was a better view of it all anyways. It is crazy to think of how much water is flowing off at once. The whole valley that the falls dump into gets filled with mist. This makes a rainbow right inside the canyon. I would have liked to go to the Canadian side but rob doesn’t have a passport. After that we started the drive to Maine.
The one interesting spot we stopped at was the boxing hall of fame. You had to pay to get into the museum area but there was another free area. In here we got to talk to guy who told us all about the place. Here, they had the boxing ring from Madison square garden, it was used from 1925-2007. They have a list of all the fights that took place by each boxer. If I had to guess it looked like over 1,000 fights. They also had a ton of signed gloves; they had an event last June where all the big name boxers flew out here to sign the gloves. The guy, mike, was very nice and explained everything to us.
In the morning we stopped at the visitor center and picked up a few maps and info about the park. The lady here was helpful and pointed out the nicer trails to check out. The first place we stopped at was an overlook. It was over a nice little cove with a beautiful house on a peninsula. Then we drove over to Sand Beach, this is pretty self explanatory. When we were done there I wanted to hike a trail. I was trying to go to the Cadillac mountain trail, but more roads were closed then what the visitor center told us about. So I was unable to get there, instead I hiked around Jordan’s pond. Rob wasn’t feeling the best, and is still having trouble sleeping in the car. So he skipped out on the hiking. The trail was 3 miles around a long, slender lake. About 90% of the lake was unfrozen and the water was crystal clear. It was a versatile hike, through woods, over boulders, and one part through a marsh area. I hiked out right as it was getting dark.
Then we drove into town and I picked up new wire for the inverter, we ran new wires into the cab at a gas station.
