I've printed out a bunch of stuff from the site here. Looking forward to it for sure. We're leaving here around 9 and hopefully get to Ithaca around 11. I'm hopefully going to find a town map when I get there and maybe that will aid us as we go from one place to another. Looks like it will be a nice day, too, so that will be a good thing to be out and about in that weather.

Very fun day (but cold!) Hit Ithaca Falls, Buttermilk and Taughannock -- which is so impressive. We didn't have much more time for some others, so hopefully another trip will be coming. I'm looking forward to it anyway!

I'll try and post up some pics when I get them processed. I took a ton -- although I'm not as happy with some of them as I wanted to be, but that happens!

I am glad to hear you enjoyed what you got to see. :D Ithaca is a really great place to see. We have a lot of different waterfalls and just as many gorges to go with them. I am sorry to hear your photos did not all come out the way you hoped, but I am sure they are wonderful all the same. Cannot wait to see some :)

Glad to hear you had fun, even in the icy conditions. You have some nice photos from your visit. I went out in the fall and took some photos. Here are some that I took than. I think tT-Falls are my favorite. (close to home that is). This is a wonderful set of falls. :D
