Niagara Falls and What Could Have Been a BIG Problem.....Wasn't

Niagara Falls surprised us.  It seems many places and things we've seen across this country have.  I guess it's because we spent the last 20 years either in Iwakuni, Japan, Yuma, Arizona and Corpus Christi, Texas.  I think we've been secluded in our own little world. 

We went to Niagara Falls State Park to see The Falls.  We just stood there and watched it happen.  It's thrilling to stand there and hear and see the force of the water. 

There are other ways to see the Falls.  There are boat rides, walks down to the shoreline by the falls and a walkway over the river to see a head on shot of the falls. 

We had Pilot with us so those things were out.  We enjoyed the park and a walk around town.  We will come back some day and see the Falls again.  They are fantastic.

On our minds during that day was the fact that the coach was at a Tiffin Dealer getting our electrical problem taken care of.  The inverter had been a little sensitive and finally blew after plugging in at the campground in Niagara Falls.  We had to wait a day and a half to get an appointment.  So we had to be very selective as to which things we were going to turn on and use.  The batteries kept getting lower and lower.  We would have to run the engine to charge them up.   To make a long story short... it was a pain.

The good part in all of this, is that once we got to the dealer and they confirmed that it was the inverter, they talked with the Tiffin guys.  The Tiffin people paid big bucks to overnight a new inverter to the dealer.  Tiffin paid the whole bill once everything was done and we drove away very happy, but with our fingers crossed that this would be the end of it.    So far, so good.

We liked the Niagara area very much.  There is much more to the area then The Falls.  We spent a day driving around and visiting a few of the State Parks and a City Park near Lake Ontario.  Took Pilot to the City Park and he got to run around the beautiful park. 

Here are but a few of the pictures of The Falls.  This is certainly a case of where the pictures do not do the area justice.  Just click the link, select Slideshow and hit F-11 to enlarge the screen.
