Today, our last destination of the journey, was spent at Niagara Falls -- a spot we reached after a short 2 hourish drive from last night's campground. We spent several hours enjoying the site, the falls, and feeling tantalizingly close to Canada (there is a spot in the middle of the bridge connecting the two sides, with respective flags from each country, where you officially cross the border). Of course, we donned our blue ponchos and took the Maid of the Mist ferry ride up to the base of the falls -- the wind was wiping so hard, and the spray so intense near the Horseshoe Falls (the larger of the falls) that it felt like being in a shower with dozens of plastic clad friends (the water was too much to think about pulling out the camera for a picture down there). We then walked over to Goat Island (situated between American Falls and Horseshoe Falls) where we ate an unsatisfying lunch before returning to our RV and then camp. Our exhausted trio quickly fell into a much deserved and much needed nap.

Tomorrow brings an early alarm for our final push through New York (and into parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey) before crossing the bridge and entering Long Island.
