10/28/2023 - Tinker Falls

Earlier in the year, I visited these falls for the first time.  There wasn't much of a flow but it was still impressive.  While wandering about with my wife, I decided to take her since we had a bunch of rain.  Apparently, it wasn't enough to truly increase the flow but the fall colors still made it worth the stop...

Parking Location: ///admires.skips.craving

Site Notes: Viewing of the falls is fully accessible.  Nicely maintained trail that would be easy to push a wheelchair if necessary.

10/7/2023 - Sodus Point Lighthouse

My wife really enjoys lighthouses in part because of the nostalgic nautical equipment and old architectural designs.  They are extremely interesting places to visit.  This is only the second one we visited, but this time, we had the pleasure of climbing the tower!

10/1/2023 - Moody Pond

I decided to get out for a long ride since it was in the upper 70s (Fahrenheit).  The destination I picked was supposed to be a short and easy 9/10 of a mile hike to a mountain overview.  They really need to define easy!  I didn't make it to the top because after 45 minutes of walking almost straight up, I was only about 2/3 of the way there with what appeared to be a steeper climb ahead.  Someone that was headed down also told me there wasn't really a great picture spot at the top which discouraged me more.  I got a couple of pictures at the pond next to the parking area, that's what you are viewing below...

9/17/2023 - Sylvan Beach Sunset

I decided to go for a ride around Oneida Lake and stop for a sunset series of pictures.  Honestly, I didn't expect it to be quite this nice!  I do need to remember to take my tripod so I can create more panoramas.  There are a lot of pictures for this post...

9/7/2023 - Storm Crossing Oneida Lake

I was hoping to get some lightning as the news shows a lot of activity.  No lightning as apparently the news was completely wrong with the lightning out in front of the storm.  It was one of the oddest weather events I've experienced.  When I arrived, the lake was almost glass like smooth and was for 10-15 minutes.  Once it started, it took less than a minute before it was so strong that the hatch on my Jeep wouldn't close with the remote.  Less than 2 minutes after it started, there were 1 foot waves coming to shore.
