My favorite place ever. Probably our fifth time down this summer, the water is so low.
Hard to believe summer is almost over. I want to live in the quarry until it freezes, loooooooooong line to get into the US. It had to have been a two hour wait at least. I wonder how many were just going to Crystal Bea…
Back to the quarry, this time a large poutine and cheesesticks. The water is warmer than ever. When the sun came out from the clouds, you could see 15 feet down. Maybe that's enough to see the otter known as e:terry. I …
Purple martins peekin' their little heads out. It was blazing hot and we rode to the quarry. The water was lower than ever and almost bathwarm to swim in! We got poutine and cheesesticks. You need to balance the ride ou…
Another bike trip up to Windmill Pt in Fort Erie. I love swimming there. We saw so many purple martins along the way. If you haven't been, go.
e:joe and I hit the beach on Saturday. The water there is so much cleaner than here. I wish it was close by but then it would be disgusting.
Despite e:Paul's angst we managed to go to Windmill Point after work yesterday. It was another perfect day for swimming. Swimming/biking combo has to be the best exercise combo. All the cardio plus exercise with a lot o…
While the rest of the campers swam at the brushwood pool, e:Paul and I took a short trip to Presque Isle. It was about 40 minutes to the beach. I love swimming there so much. It makes me want to float out to the middle …
Yesterday I got home at 7:30 and booked it to the quarry. sorry e:Paul, I know you were mad at me. I got to swim for 20 minutes, but not before I heard the life story of the security guard and his immigration from Hunga…
We took a ride up to Windmill point quarry with e:robert and co. Lots of biking and lots of snacking. The water was the perfect temperature - I didn't want to leave even after being in for two hours. e:terry and I tried…
we took our first ride of the year up to the quarry. The water was pretty chilly but I still had fun. This time we even got to use the trampoline and slide off in the kids corner. e:Holly joined us for the swim too. On …
We stopped at Letchworth on the way home with e:Terry's mom to show her the falls and grand canyon of the east. We also got to swim in the freaking gigantic pool. I love being able to go off a diving board too.
If you want to swim down south, skip Holiday Valley and go straight to Erie. I've never seen such clear water in the lake before. We tried to go to Holiday Valley first but it wasn't great, so we drove another hour and …
We went down to Presque Isle for the day. I wish we left to go earlier, as in earlier in the summer, lol. It was still nice to swim in a cleaner part of lake Erie. The beaches are so nice there.
We did so much swimming at Jabe, morning, noon and night. For most of the trip we were the only people there, especially at sunset. One sunset e:Joe and I swam almost all the islands non stop. It was about an hour and a…
The pool at Letchworth is amazing. I've been there a bunch of times with my family - my dad used to go all the time growing up. The pool is olympic size at least, plus a diving area. The water wasn't even chlorinated. A…
While we were at Bass Mountain, e:paul talked to Brian found out that him and e:holly were also in Franklinville - in a cabin only a few miles away. So we met up with them at a diner where Holly shocked all the locals. …
We ditched Mike and Dave for camping at Windmill Point on Friday, but we did ride over to swim on Saturday. I was surprised at how well e:mike handled camping (Dave didn't get pushed into a fire). The quarry was amazing…
After the taste of Buffalo, e:Paul got to show off his new Provincetown shorts. It was a really amazing day for biking over for swimming. The water has warmed up a lot and is so clean compared to the lake. You're now al…
Lake Erie is totally disgusting right now. It seems like it keeps getting worse. We tried to escape to the lake to get away from the concert but it smelled so badit made me want to throw up. They have to do something ab…
After gardening all morning and afternoon, we headed up to Fort Erie to cool off at Windmill Point. The weather was perfect for it (minus the swarms of bugs on the way back). Riding over to Canada - the construction clo…
After a day of non-stop gardening we biked to Canada for some swimming, then swam across the freezing quary twice before heading back to the states. The peace bridge is under construction now so you travel on the Canadi…
