Hi Hap,

->  hn> I don't remember cave of the winds...we rode
->  hn> the lady of the mist below the falls

-> Maid of the Mist?

 hn> Ok, Maid of the mist...it was more than 50 years
 hn> ago! (grin)

Just one of the odd bits of trivia that got stuck in my brain. Of course
the alliterativeness of it helped it to stick.

->  hn> and I can't remember the name of the
->  hn> boat above the falls...and it was quite a

-> I've no idea.

 hn> It was more like a cabin cruiser charter
 hn> boat than an "excursion boat".

Somebody out to earn a few extra $$ maybe?  Snacks offered for sale?

->  hn> ways upstream...but you could hear the
->  hn> falls anyway.

-> It's hard not to hear them from a distance.  Anyway, I don't know when
-> the Cave of the Winds tours started but it is quite an experience.  Only
-> time I've had anything close is in Switzerland at Trummelbach Falls.
-> Next time you get to Niagara, ask about the CotW tour--you would get
-> some awesome pictures.

 hn> I don't expect to see Niagra again unless
 hn> something Unforseen happens in my life.

You never know what might happen to get you in the area. If you do get
there, remember that Buffalo is home to the Anchor Bar (over hyped) and
beef on 'weck (or 'wick), kimmelweck (wick) rolls.  Good eating,
especially if you can find a mom & pop's place.


-> Yes but problems can happen.  One of my fellow Girl Scouts got quite a
-> severe scald burn on her foot when a pot of hot water dumped over. (I
-> don't remember how; I wasn't near the cooking area when it happened.)
-> She ended up having to leave the camp and go to the hospital.

 hn> We had a guy toss a can of Pork &Beans in the
 hn> fire (unbeknownst to everyone else) and when
 hn> it exploded it blew bits of burning debris everywhere
 hn> but no one was seriously injured, although one tent
 hn> did have a pretty good sized hole burnt in it!

That must have caused some excitement. (G)  Did the culprit ever admit
to doing it?

->  hn> 5 24 inch shelves...but I have
->  hn> somewhere between 400 and 500
->  hn> cookbooks, so yes, I am another
->  hn> one! (grin)

-> I've got a lot of slim paper backs I should go thru; most probably
-> aren't worth keeping.  Other than those, I know I don't have even 100.
-> Even with those, I MIGHT have around 100.

 hn> I'm at the point where I refuse to count em
 hn> anymore! (grin)

I'm not counting mine; that was a rough guess.
