4 cucumbers were eaten before the car door was even closed.
Then we set up camp, left centa behind with a migrane and a baby (good combo, we thought) and headed off to visit the "second" biggest falls of NY state.
It's a 17mile gorge, with huge waterfalls, that we drove along and stopped at every lookout.
There were lower, middle and upper falls. Generally the middle falls are considered the most impressive, but you can decide for yourself:
 |
| lower (mama) |
 |
| middle (with mary and martin) |
 |
| upper |
Theodore and Henry's favorite part was the rainbows we saw.
Mama and Mary's favorite was the mushrooms we found, eventually identified as a shaggy parasol, which we had as an after dinner snack.
Dinner was the first successful slowcooker endevor, made while we were out hiking. Lentils and rice, which mama enhanced with fried zucchini (4/$1 at the farmstand ... mmmm)
Right as we were deciding to be too lazy to put away all our stuff, and making fun of Papa's assertion that racoons would attack our stuff, a family of racoons walked right into our camp and hissed at Brian when he tried to shoo them away from our shampoo bin. That motivated us to resolve to put away our food for the rest of the trip. Coming up, in the west, maybe bears???
