We decided to drive back to the falls, and check out some of the sights from Goat Island. This island sits in the middle of the Niagara River, between American and Horseshoe Falls. The viewing areas on the island put you at the edge of Horseshoe Falls, which receives considerably more water than the American Falls. It's just hard to put in words, what you feel, watching the tremendous amount of water going over the edge at these two huge waterfalls. We had a nice lunch, overlooking Horseshoe Falls, then walked over to tiny Luna Island which is just above the American Falls. The picture above, showing the people in yellow rain coats, was taken from Luna Island, looking down on the Cave of the Winds Boardwalk. We didn't particularly feel like paying to walk down below the falls and get soaking wet, so we just watched all of the folks getting soaking wet. They even provide sandals, because otherwise, your shoes would fill with water. It was a nice sunny day, and with this drive out to Goat Island, we hit most all of the vantage points from the American side of the river. We didn't feel like we needed to go through the hassle of crossing the border, we'll be doing that in a few days, when we cross from Maine into New Brunswick. Today, we leave Niagara Lazy Lakes RV Park, and I plan on taking back roads across most of New York.
