Day Zero Project: Completed No. 14

September 18, 2012

Niagara Falls is quite impressive up close.

A Day Zero Project goal of P.J.’s has been completed!

Goal completed: Visit Niagara Falls

Date completed: August 25, 2012.

Number: 14 (remember, these goals will not all be done in order. It’s a random list where the numbers actually are).

Description: One thing I’ve wanted to do since I’ve gotten a tad older is to see more of the state in which I live. New York offers a lot — from the city to the Catskills to the Adirondacks to Niagara Falls and so much more. Niagara Falls is something I stopped by many years ago, but have no idea about it. So I wanted to go see it again.

Why I wanted to do it: As noted above, I want to see more of my state. I am also a massive waterfall nut, so getting to Niagara Falls was a must.

How I did it: This became a geocaching road trip, with the bonus of having Niagara Falls on the list. A couple of us came through here filling in grids and such for the DeLorme and county challenges. We also spent about an hour and a half in Niagara Falls, exploring a little. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to the Canadian side, which appears to be where the best views come from.

I’ll be back for that side for sure.

Still, we walked around and checked out some of the really nice spots. We might have thought about exploring a little more, but it was so hot that day, we did all we could handle and headed out for the rest of the road trip.

It really is an amazing place and I look forward to going back sometime. Hopefully soon. I’d love to do some long-exposure night shots from the Canadian side once the falls are lit up at night.

For those who haven’t been there, it’s worth a trip. From the looks of the websites I’ve looked at, there’s always quite a bit to do besides the falls, which could make it more of a reason why the Niagara Falls area — on both sides of the border — is a vacation destination.

About P.J.’s Day Zero Project: Day Zero is a project where people come up with 101 things to do over 1001 days. I started the project on Oct. 10, 2010 with an anticipated finish date of July 8, 2013. Goals will not be revealed until they are completed. A private list is at the Day Zero website and the list will be made public upon completion of the project. It’s my thoughts that if things are kept private, should I not do them, change or find a way around it, I’d only be cheating myself.

    This is someplace I hope to get to at some point in my life- I want to do the whole touristy thing with the boat and raincoats etc! 🙂

    Your photo is gorgeous! I have to laugh though. I was born in San Francisco. I have never been to Alcatraz or Angel Island for that matter. I mean, it’s right there and I’ve never been. At this point, I sort of wonder if I ever will go. I may, but then again I may not.

    Niagara Falls is something I’d really love to visit.

      I’d love to get to Alcatraz. I have a feeling it would make for some good photos. 🙂

    It’s been years since I’ve been to Niagara Falls! We were thinking of going next summer since my son Max desperately wants to go to Marineland – of course, we’ll be on the Canadian side. 🙂

      Next time I go, I need to get to the Canadian side. And explore a couple of the US side things I missed this time around.

Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! You know, Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! 

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

The colors in the sky were fantastic and the scene was nice looking (though, to be fair, I drove by what I think would have been a better scene -- the valley and hills full of snow etc.)

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
