Seneca Falls, NY - I'll Have Another!

We spent a wonderful three days in Seneca Falls, most of it with our friends Tim and Pam.  Seneca Falls is located on Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes.  Our camground itself was in nearby Waterloo, set on the banks of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, part of the Erie Canal system.

Wednesday evening, Tim and Pam invited us to dinner - it was Pam's birthday and the waitress jumped right in with a candle for Pam to blow out.

Thursday morning, we took a walk along the canal:

Later that day, Tim took us kayaking on the canal.  We paddled 6 miles up to Seneca Lake - and 6 miles back (sore arms), with beautiful views and lots of wildlife along the canal, and gorgeous views of the lake once we got there.  We saw turtles, blue heron, ducks, geese, possibly an otter, and a beaver.

Thursday evening, we again had dinner with Pam and Tim, and planned a hike for Friday evening.  We drove over to Tim's house, drove with him to get sandwiches, and met Pam after she got off work.  Tim drove us all down Cayuga Lake, stopping for ice cream, and then we hiked up to Taughannock Falls, taking the spectacular rim trails to view the falls from above:

As we finished the hike, we were able to catch sunset over Cayuga Lake - a fitting end to our visit!
