Hi Hap,

 hn> I don't remember cave of the winds...we rode
 hn> the lady of the mist below the falls

Maid of the Mist?


 hn> and I can't remember the name of the

It's hard not to hear them from a distance.  Anyway, I don't know when
the Cave of the Winds tours started but it is quite an experience.  Only
time I've had anything close is in Switzerland at Trummelbach Falls.
Next time you get to Niagara, ask abotu the CotW tour--you would get
some awesome pictures.

Some people have actually survived the ride.

I saw a picture of it yesterday; I think it was in one of the magazines
I was tearing up.  It had the Vs facing each other, one hooked over a
cross bar; the other had the pot on it.

-> Still, the kids have to be careful cooking.

 hn> That was the cardinal rule anyway.

Yes but problems can happen.  One of my fellow Girl Scouts got quite a
severe scald burn on her foot when a pot of hot water dumped over. (I
don't remember how; I wasn't near the cooking area when it happened.)
She ended up having to leave the camp and go to the hospital.

I've got a lot of slim paper backs I should go thru; most probably
aren't worth keeping.  Other than those, I know I don't have even 100.
Even with those, I MIGHT have around 100.
