Lake Ontario Whirl Around!

 I made a good trip of it yeserday.Just west of Rochester New York there is a great state park called
Hamrick Beach.This is a great beach if you find yourself out that way.A good place to have a picknik.
A paved path runs the whole length above the beach for bike riding or walking.The beach is nice and smooth
with a few areas of dunes.A wooded hill at the edge,and super clear Lake Ontario water rounds out a great place.There is a camping area.Plenty of restrooms.Go there.Have fun.
  Now when we left there we went west on the Lake Ontario Parkway.This is a super great ride along the edge of Lake Ontario with plenty of open lake views as you drive along.
  Then after a while I pulled in at the road that goes to Golden Hill state park.Here you will find camping,hiking great beach views and the prize view at the top of  30 Mile Point Light House.It cost a buck to get a guilded tour of the old lighthouse.The veiw of the Lake is fantastic!!!
  When we got done here we chugged down the Parkway toward Niagara Falls. Just before entering the city of Niagara Falls I pulled in the the Devils Hole parking lot.Me and my sweety hiked down the endless steps
all the way to the bottom of the Devils Hole (wow) make sure you don't miss this one.At the bottom turn left and hike about 100 yards and find a little trail that will take you to some big rocks next to the Niagara
River.Hiking back up will give you a great workout or kill you but I sure enjoyed it.
 Then we drove down to see the American Falls at the State Park.
   After we enjoyed the Falls(which I will write about in another blog) I then drove us to Buffalo NY
where we went to a great BBQ  called Fat Bob's Smokehouse. MMMMMMM what a day.
Please get out there and check out this stuff.
