Awesome, at Ausable Chasm, NY

Wow!!!!!!!!!! You have to see this incredible place. We are talking
an unbelievable sight. This in many
aspects is jaw dropping like Niagara Falls. It is amazing what changes the earth goes through over the eons.

The chasm was created over 500 million years ago. That's old. Evidently there is a fault that lies under the area and over time there have been shifts that got the whole thing started. Mother Nature took care of rest with a constant flow of water from the Ausable River.

We took a ride down the gorge in a raft that holds 8 people plus a guide.
It was not a white water ride, but we had to remove the shoes as water does get in the raft. The water was damn cold. I am really glad that it was only our feet that got wet.

We really like the camp ground we are in. There are very few campers here during the week as after Labor Day most camping is done on weekends. Of course as the weather starts getting colder that also eliminates a lot of campers as well. We are very fortunate to have such a nice RV that is extremely comfortable no matter what the weather outside. Of course I am not talking about freezing rain or snow. We will be back to the warm weather of Florida before that happens in the area. In a way I guess we will now have to be considered Snow Birds.

Tomorrow we are taking a ferry across Lake Champlain to Burlington, VT as a day trip. Of course our trusty dog Angel will be with us. This will be her first ferry ride so she is excited.
That is it for now as I have to light up the BBQ for dinner.

Miles of Smiles. Happy Trails.
