Interesting fact about the falls.

We were there in July a few years back. We took the first ferry over, stayed long enough to walk the island and then left. <br />The Upper Falls is the one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River next to the Niagara Falls. Many of our friends were surprised to learn that fact. Did you take all those steps to see the falls?

Sure hope the awning motor is an easy fix as well!!<br />I can certainly see why those falls are called "root beer falls."
