Genesee River gorge

We stayed four nights in Letchworth State Park in western New York, with its stunning views of the nearly 600-feet-deep gorge carved by the Genesee River through sandstone and shale.  There are three major waterfalls in the 17-mile-long park, many scenic overlooks and hiking trails, and a nice little museum.  One trail crosses the park’s only footbridge across the river.

Bob and Paula arrived from North of Toronto to join us at Letchworth for two nights—we’ve been friends since 1969 and Bob was best man at our wedding.  Taking advantage of electric service at this campground, we used the portable pizza oven from “Old Fogeys Outing Club” buddies Dick & Sonia to bake potato strips with one dinner and pizza and some-mores the next night.
