Chimney Bluffs

Wolcott, New York. Cliff Bluffs State Park is a day use area with trails and shoreline. We walked the cliff trail with the forested land on one side and the open water on the other. These sandstone cliffs are unusual seeing Mother Nature has formed them. Each climb upward and vista view was a worth walking out to the edge and peering down to them. A small reminder of the Bryce Canyon trail we once walked. This body of water is Lake Ontario and some days it was calm and other with white caps and waves. Sometimes you had to keep reminding yourself that is was fresh water and not salted. You noticed Dave at play on the shoreline with the rock building.
The lighthouse is in Sodas Bay also on Lake Ontario it is about 2o miles west of Cliff Bluffs it is still operated by the Coast Guard, our day trip there was cold, rainy and very windy. The waves sometimes crashed nearly half way up the lighthouse walls. There is a county park adjacent to this light house with a swimming area, picnic tables and restrooms with a snack bar. All closed for the season the little town of Sodas Bay has a few restaurants and many docks for the boaters. This was also the same day that we say the plane that crashed into the corn field. Everyone walked away from that crash, but the plane is totaled. We later learned that the farmer actually has insurance for such things. We would have thought the plane's owner would be responsible for any damage, and the still might be. All in a days adventure to see the sights.
