    Looks to be clearing out for you shortly and heading north northeast so you might be able to get to the falls free and clear very soon!:D
    Should see if you can get on the Maid of the mist up there and get up close and personal with the falls :thumbs:

    So far 584 which is slightly further than the route I made for my bike Garmin. We had a couple of detours in Ohio because sections the bikeway were closed for repairs, and we made a couple side trips.

    About 400 more to go. But first, 2 days enjoying the Falls area.

    The Sheraton Inn charges an unbelievable amount of money to do laundry, sooo, we improvised and used the jacuzzi tub in our room as a washing machine!:rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol: And man, it worked great!
