New York from East to West

Jill's Journal: As Rob and I have hauled out map after map and discussed endlessly exactly where to go next after the unexpectedly abrupt end to our time in New England, we realized we weren’t THAT far from Niagara Falls. It’s kind of isolated, at least for us. There’s not much else in about a 200-mile radius (on the U.S. side) that we imagine would draw us to the area other than the Falls, so we decided there is no time like the present. Add in a year-round campground that has water (and electricity – our Saratoga spot only had very limited power), and it was an easy decision.

And that is how we ended up driving 300 or so miles all the way across New York state today, literally from one end to the other…

I was actually going to send a note today to suggest the Falls! I've seen it both in summer & winter--gorgeous & impressive either way! Scott grew up in Tonawanda, just next to the town of Niagara Falls, but he has nothing to contribute to your sightseeing agenda (probably because, as you've already surmised, there isn't anything). :)

P.S. We have lots of family friends in the Buffalo area (& some are RV people too) so if you need anything or are looking for something, we might be able to get you hooked up.

Diana, no way (on two counts)! First, very bizarre about your Falls suggestion -- great minds think alike and all that. :) And second, I cannot believe Scott grew up in Tonawanda!! We are actually staying in North Tonawanda; I had no idea this was his stomping ground. He's got nothing, no suggestions at all??? LOL!
