First, a salute to all us veterans!
OK, I lied, they have WiFi. I didn’t ask earlier and after I returned from dinner, I found out they do have it.
Today was a banner day. I checked two bucket list items off: Niagara Falls and the Adirondacks.
I was directed by gps to shuffle off to Buffalo. I had no intention to go to Niagara Falls but it is only 20 miles out of Buffalo and I decided it was too close not to go. The same thing happened the first time I visited the Grand Canyon. I had no intention of visiting the Grand Canyon but at a conference in Scotsdale, I determined it was stupid not to go.
When you get to the city of Niagara Falls, you are guided to the state park. Appearances can be deceiving. Finding a parking space is tough. Once you are close enough to the falls, you are directed towards a money making garage at $20 a car. I found street parking for $3.
Everything is well done. It no longer looks like the movie version Niagara with Marylin Monroe, Jean Peters and Joseph Cotten. I love that old movie. Instead, everything is up to date and ready to take your money.

I didn’t pay for the observation tower or the Maid of the Mist. I stuck to the American falls, mainly because I didn’t bring my passport. I understand the Canadian falls are much more picturesque but I was satisfied just being able to see the American falls.
To be honest, I expected them to be a little higher than they were. Still, I wouldn’t want to go over them in a barrel.
The drive up to and through the Adirondacks was great. I passed places that looked like they could have been the set for Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House with Cary Grand and Myrna Loy. I also saw places that looked like they could have filmed Dirty Dancing.
The Adirondacks have fascinated me since my days as a Boy Scout at Camp Kickapoo outside Clinton, Mississippi. They had a secluded area in the camp for special occasions called the Adirondack shack. It was a simple three sided shed for camping.
Then, there was The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper.
Later, I was introduced to Adirondack chairs. Much of the area does remind me of parts of the Smokeys as well as areas of Camp Kickapoo. Let’s just say I am an avid “tree eater.”
I pulled in to the Alpine Homestead around 5:15 pm and met Barry and Peggy, the owners. I’m in the Tannery room with a king bed. My private bath is down the hall. There is no breakfast with the B&B but that’s OK since I need an early start tomorrow for Bar Harbor. It’s a 9 hour drive.
Again, I’m amazed at the accuracy of the gps. It’s self corrects along the way, but eerily, it seems to provide an accurate estimate as you begin even though it cannot predict the stops. Perhaps it has learned my bathroom breaks.
Max Showalter was the star of Niagara. Not sure why you failed to mention him. Holley says that Ray Cutler, his character in the movie, was the quintessential male —vacuous, dismissive, befuddled—traits she sees daily in me.
