Wet n Wild

The first few days of our Super Seniors voyage have flooded by so quickly. It has been a wet and wild start to the best summer yet!


First port of call was Maid of the Mist, where the wind swept the falls in the perfect...or not so perfect direction, depending on who you were. Nonetheless, it was a direct hit! Ready for more, we climbed alongside Niagara Falls and experienced a hurricane of wind and water - in seconds the Super Seniors were saturated. A night walk down to the other side of the falls led not only to fascinating views, but a moment questioning whether or not rain or the falls' mist led to another bout of being waterlogged. But, give everyone credit, it just added to the fun and we soaked it all up!

After a sensational early morning run along the falls we headed to our second destination, Lewiston, home to a wicked jet boat excursion! Just as we boarded the boat, a storm came out of nowhere and drenched us before we even hit the rapids! Once we did get underway, we slammed class 5 whitewater on the Niagara River every which way possible. We had water coming from all directions! One approach cleansed our nasal cavities with a tsunami wave like no other. A few spins in the whirlpool and a 60mph sprint down the river dried us off...kinda. Off to Ohio!

We followed the edge of Lake Erie all the way to our next point of interest, the "roller coast", Cedar Point. The wild rides kept the Super Seniors in loops all day long. Some chose the extreme 120mph, 420 foot rides of craziness. Others blasted through the midway rides, bumping, flying, and swinging to their hearts content. Serious fun all around!









The wild adventures in Ohio continued when we rocked out the five floors of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. We grooved to 'Let it Be' with the Beatles, sung 'Sweet Caroline' with Neil Diamond, and jammed with Aerosmith to 'Dream On'. The music continued to play in the vans as our travels continue in Pennsylvania. What a Wet n Wild start to a memorable summer.
