A.M. - North Niagara Falls, NY….Sam’s Club parking lot. Fired up generator to power up coffee pot..nice.
The plan for the day is to return to the Falls and spend time walking around on Goat Island, checking out the American side of the Falls.
P.M. - We did spend most of the day walking to all the viewpoints of the American side of the Falls. Yes, lots of pictures.
Rita had mentioned before that she read of a place called Artpark located in Lewiston, NY just north of Niagara Falls, that had free outdoor concerts by well known artists every Tuesday during the summer. We headed for Lewiston. No signs were posted telling who might be playing, but we saw lots of folks walking toward the park. When we approached the ticket booth in our camper, we asked and were told Starship would be playing for the evening. The concert was free. Parking $10.00.
It was a great concert and a great venue. The stage backed up to near the edge of the Niagara River gorge, the sun was setting over the Canadian side of the gorge (Is this the origin of the term, “gorgeous” ?).
As we arrived at the park, we noticed lots of Harley riders. Apparently, there have been noise issues in the past. We saw two prominent, lighted signs posted by local police stating; 1) Bikers, please show respect for local residents.
And 2) Noise ordinance strictly enforced.
As the concert ended, it was fairly late and we had no campsite for the night. Out came the camping directory. We found a reasonably priced ($30.00) site 20 miles east, in Lockport, NY. We called the place, were told that office had just closed but to come on and someone would meet us.
The end of another great day on our journey.
