Heading to Niagara Falls
The troop leaves this afternoon for a weekend in Niagara Falls, NY. We're taking approx. 40 Scouts and 15-20 adult leaders and parents. It's been several years since I last visited--and that trip was over the Christmas holidays with Ben. At that time, it was so cool to see ice forming near the falls, especially below the cascade where the mist froze onto the nearby rocks.
Our group will stay at a Scout camp near Buffalo tonight, then head to the falls tomorrow. Once we're finished there, we'll head back to Buffalo Naval Park for a night aboard the USS Little Rock, a World War II cruiser. We'll tour the ship and stay in the bunks used by sailors in days gone by, always a highlight for the Scouts.
When Ben was younger and our family lived in Mobile, AL, we stayed aboard the USS Alabama, a huge battleship. This weekend's visit to the Little Rock should be much like the stay on the Alabama.
I'm planning on taking my new Nikon digital SLR camera this weekend, which should enable me to make some good photos of Niagara Falls. The quality of the photos has amazed me thus far.
