Forgot to tell you about the dog rescue that Margaret saw yesterday. Suzie had gone over the wall along the Niagara River, and the owner, some police all dressed in rapelling gear, and a Humane Society ambulance were all at there to rescue the animal. We assume successfully.
The Niagara Review did a great newspaper report about the Susquehanna walk.
Much of today was spent following an old electric rail line which meant gentle grades.
The bright yellow pansies at the Horticultural Gardens entrance were outstanding.
The Sir Adam Beck generating station when built in 1930 was the largest in the world.
Gen. Isaac Brock had lots of help from the Natives to win against the Americans.
We had both made bets about good General's outstretched arm. We both lost.
(He was actually holding a "baton", which might actually be a lightening arrester.)
The narrow trail down the 200 foot Niagara Escarpment is a slippery creek channel!
Queenston looks like a very healthy village but it has no stores, only a tiny post office.
An arranged media meeting in Queenston was postponed to Thursday morning
The next few days will follow through the flat fruit farms of the Niagara Peninsula
One of today's sites was the Great Floral Clock beside the generating stations. Around the clock, clockwise, are the letters ARASKRAPNIAG (Niagara Parks). About twenty minutes later I saw another garden with the ten hour clock. As most Americans know, this country went metric over twenty years ago. The new ten hour clock - - twenty hours in a day - - had a hundred minutes in an hour. The advantage of the ten hour clock was that many things could now be done more quickly. Google the phrase "metric clock" to get details on how it works.
