Waterfalls in NY :)

Hey doc, a 200' rock wall, that must be pretty neat.  Any pics?

As you can see, I didn't get real close to the edge ..... lol. But this is my back boundary. No trespassers coming in from that direction.

Wow!!! Thats beautiful!

That has been part of my playground ever since I was 11 years old. I did find some of those old pictures that show the scale of the falls a bit better. Those black and whites are 1959 vintage pictures taken with an old Brownie Kodak camera ...... ha-ha. As you can see there was no fear of heights back then. Now that I look at those pictures, I can see how foolish kids can be. ???

I don't see the wooly mammoths like Culvercreek said....? ;D

We already got all them during the last drive.

By the way, any trespassers that try to come in that way find me waiting for them when they get to the top. I usually step on their fingers. We take our posted signs pretty seriously here. ;D 

By the way my back boundary is the centerline of the creek so if they climb all the way up, they are already trespassing.

Wow, that is an awesome natural feature, I guess the land has been in your family for a long time?

No wonder you have a problem with trespassers. That waterfall  and rock-face must be a huge siteseeing and rock climbing destination

Not so much. Most people don't know about it. plus access to it is cut off by other landowners who refuse trespass permission because of liabilities. Also, you will notice that the walls are some very loose shale. When I was a kid we tried to climb it (stupid kids) and always got to one spot or another where there simply was nothing solid enough to get ahold of.

We moved there from one valley over back in the 50's.

Beautiful Property Doc. You don't see features like that all the time

Our area has a lot of those kinds of formations, but if you want to see some real gorges with nice waterfalls, head over to the Ithaca area. And then there's always Watkins glen, and who can beat Letchworth?

Here's a link to a guy that really like the gorges and falls of the Finger Lakes: http://www.citrusmilo.com/fingerlakes/iloveny1.cfm

Sorry to get so far off topic.

Way off the topic, but...

Any one that has lived their entire life in WNY glacial plains can't appreciate what beauty the glaciers created in the Finger Lakes area.

All kinds of hidden treasures down there.

I want to go there now after seeing those pics!  Maybe I should split this topic up
