And Yes, Time Travel is Possible or 'The Longest Hour' (I-90 W about 25 miles from Chicago post)

We have crossed over the proverbial line for the Central Time-zone.  So, now I am sitting here reliving the past hour.    More driving.  :(   However, it is really cool to be in another time-zone than I would be in at home. :) Timber doesn't really understand what all the fuss is about.

Right now, We have been in a total of 5 states today: New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
We have crossed the line for a time zone, and are reliving an hour.
I have also seen an 'Exit 0' on the highway.  Hmm, never seen one of those before.

By the time we stop, we will be in Madison, Wisconsin, and will have been in a total of 6 states: the five we have already been through and, of course, Wisconsin.

Driving and Tootsie Pops (Interstate 90 West somewhere in Ohio post)

This is really all we are doing today.  Driving.  Which means I am really bored right now.  All I can really do is stare out the window and see the highway slide by.  I can also post to my blog (clearly) and listen to Classic Vinyl music, or lick my tootsie pop and ponder the age old question, 'How many licks does it take to reach the center of a tootsie pop?'  Maybe I should follow Little Miss Poster Dog for Winnebago's example and go take a nap.

However there has been some excitement.  We have been in three different states: New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio and it isn't even lunch yet! :)

A Tale of Broken iPods, Buffalo Wings, and Niagara Falls (Buffalo, NY post)

Karen broke her iPod about a week ago by dropping it on the pavement, so today we found ourselves in the Buffalo Apple Store receiving a replacement.  It was quick and by the time we finished near lunchtime.  If it didn't break and if we didn't stop, we wouldn't have visited Niagara Falls on this trip.  Good things really do come out of unfortunate events.


For lunch, we had Buffalo Wings at the birthplace of Buffalo Wings, Frank and Teressa's Anchor Bar on Main Street in Buffalo.

Then, we reached Niagara Falls.  We embarked on the Cave of the Wind walk.  It was awe-inspiring to walk so close to Niagara Falls and feel the water as it cascades down the rocks and spray the observation platforms.  As I was walking, I realized that Niagara Falls was truly one of God's miracles.
Imagine, 75,000 gallons per second cascade down American Falls.  These pictures really don't give credit to the beauty and majesty of Niagara Falls, but here they are.

This is the Observation Platform for the Cave of the Wind Walk.  

Rainbow Bridge (the bridge linking the US and Canada), the Observation Tower, and American Falls.

American Falls in the foreground and off on the right side in the background, Horseshoe Falls.  

Out of all of the many pictures I took today, this next one must be my favorite!

Harvey and the Syracuse Dinosaur Barbecue (Syracuse, NY post)

Here is the outside view of Harvey.   Harvey is a 2007 Winnebago View 23b. 

Last night,  we reached Syracuse and dined at the Dinosaur Barbecue.

As we were leaving, I stopped to take a few pictures of the sky and my other surroundings.

 
This post is a special post.  This is my first post posted while we are driving.  Right now, we are on Interstate 90 West.  We are headed toward Buffalo and Niagra Falls, so expect another post later with those pictures. :)
