Niagra Falls and the Road Home

We were all pretty exhausted at the last campground, to be honest, I don't even know were it was.  I had slept from Cooperstown to wherever we were because I had been up 36 hours straight.  We arrived at about midnight, just in time to sit around a picnic table and reminisce about what we've experienced to that point.  After finishing our midnight snack, we all got one last night of sleep in the RV. 
Niagra Falls was amazing.  It has nothing to do with baseball, but was a very memorable part of the trip.  We made our way to the observation deck (we got a good chuckle when Brian hollered out, "Cannonball!") on the US side and then took an elevator to the bottom where we got on board the 'Maid of the Mist'.  We were all given a poncho and before you knew it, we were floating to the bottom of the falls.  To think that people have survived plunges over this monster stumped us all.  This was another location on our trip that numerous languages were being spoke.  It was amazing.  A few more pictures ended up being taken from the cliffs besides the falls before we made our way to the gift shop.  For me the photos in my mind were pretty much all I needed to take away from this place. 

The last place we stopped on the road home was the original home of buffalo wings in Buffalo, NY.  We ordered up two platters of 50 wings each and put them away.  The hottest wings, were nothing compared to those we tried in Cleveland, but the over all taste and quality of the wing was superb. 

All in all, we ended up putting on 2883.9 miles on that little RV.  I don't know how soon we'd do this again, but I know none of us will ever forget it.  When you spend that much time with some of your closest pals, you realize that they are more like brothers. 

Thanks for following along.  In the words of Forrest Gump, "That's about all I have to say about that."

Play ball!
