Salmon River Falls

 











Salmon River Falls Unique Area, New York
110-foot waterfall on the Salmon River in Oswego County.

Sometimes when we travel you just go there not knowing the whole story, the history, every last single detail... I find it so awesome to find out even more when you do the research for a blog post that I get to share with you my bloggy friends ... SO COOL!!! If you are not in the know about New York state, you really should get with the program. There is so much more to the state than the big apple ...the state is huge and so amazing. Like West Virginia "Wild and Wonderful", searching for New York's motto: "Ever upward."

Did you realize that "ice climbing" is a thing? I sure didn't. have I been living under a rock? Have you??!! Maybe you are more familiar with this sport than I am?? "... involves ascending routes that consist only of a frozen water. To ascend the route, the ice climber uses specialist equipment, particularly double ice axes and rigid crampons..." I guess for me, I have even more questions!???!??! The biggest one is how do you not get hurt???! 

New York is 1 of the original 13 colonies... I didn't realize that so many American Indians did/do live this area. We all need to give New York state more credit for all the amazing locations that there are to offer, when visiting and enjoying all the recreational activities.

I'm giving you a link to "Salmon River Falls" on Wikipedia because the information they have on there is amazing. To think that this waterfall was so run down and they turned into amazing location ...just is mind blowing to me ...I am so thankful. Gorgeous location. Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

I love waterfalls. Ice climbing sounds dangerous. Talk about a slippery slope!

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Bass Pro Shop, Memphis, Tennessee

Bass Pro Shop, "Memphis Pyramid", in Tennessee. We always enjoy visiting Brass Pro Shops around the USA. They are so always so creative, all different and interesting to see what they will be sharing. We are not fisher people. we just can appreciate the business. All sorts of games to play. Shopping. Lodging. Restaurants. In the brochure you can get at the front door this quote can be seen... "Ride the tallest freestanding elevator in America. Experience a ride to the top of the Pyramid in the 28-story glass elevator. Once you are at the top, stand on glass-floored observation decks that offer 360-degree views 300 feet above Memphis and the Mississippi River." (we didn't do this, it does cost extra doe to ride on up. but fun to see from the bottom looking up.) A must see if you are in the Memphis,TN. area. Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your day!
