New York State - TWO

 





Fair Haven Beach State Park, Cayuga County, NY

This gorgeous waterfront state park (have I ever told ya that my best half loves "waterfront", no matter where we stay he is always looking for the best water view, and when we get there and the waterfront is hidden by trees he is heartbroken, i just figure we can walk to the view, oh well, i guess it is all in what you love/like.) but they don't offer "electricity" on that section of camping so that is not gonna to work for us being that we were there for over a week, when you have items that need electricity that is a must. Boy was it amazing ...I bet the sunset/sunrises would be awesome breathtaking!!!!















(4 photos above, the bridge is going across to the home and mill, it is a working mill and that's awesome to see that it is still plugging along, and the across the water view, my favorite, it is just breathtaking, I wish kids (or others who don't appreciate it would see this view and just understand how amazing & important our country, our world ...we are a working world, using our hand and tools to improve the daily life, make it more easier, craftsmanship and all that jazz) wouldn't that be great, thoughts, would love to listen to your ideas and opinions??!)

Chimney Bluffs State Park, Wolcott, NY
597-acre state park, town of Huron, Wayne County, southern shore of Lake Ontario.





Brewerton Rear-Range Lighthouse, Hastings, NY on Oneida Lake. I think if I could teach folks, maybe the ones who don't keep up with history, or the 1's who aren't interested in it or whatnot ...it is amazing to see how much we use our water sources to get products moved around, how it has changed from the past but also that it is still used today (similar with slight improvements or such??!?!) ...just amazing how product moving (getting things from here to there and back again) has changed. You know what I mean? (Erie Canal and other waterways.)

In this area we found Top This Pizza (to celebrate my 45th birthday)

Beautiful sights! Yes, we sometimes forget the importance of waterways. I’ve watched huge ships at the port of Long Beach California and it was incredible. Gigantic cranes transfer the huge containers to trucks, where they are then the trailers on tractor trailers. Often they take carry them to trains, where they become box cars, and travel across the country and become trucks again. Eventually the stuff winds up in your dollar store.

"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!
