A Couple More Photos
from our little excursion.
On Thursday evening, after Sabres camp, we began making our way back to the campground. The kids were thinking about our visit last year, and wanted to know if we could stop by the park where Fort Niagara is located. Mark said sure, as it was right along our way.
We pulled into the parking lot at the park and spotted a regatta of sailboats on the lake. We hurried out of the truck so we could see better. When we visited last year, neither Mark nor I could remember seeing Toronto across the lake!
I’m not sure how far it is across the lake at this point, but it was so cool to see Toronto in the distance.
We walked along the beach and just enjoyed the fresh air, then headed back.
As we were driving down the main street, I laughed and told Mark, “The British are coming!” He pulled over so I could photograph one of the Redcoats…..
Quite a clever transformation for a fire hydrant, eh?

When we went to visit Fort Niagara, a guy there told us that when the conditions are right you can see Toronto. I took a couple pictures of it from the top of one of the buildings, but that was with the Minolta and they, unfortunately, weren’t great pictures. I like the fire hydrant…very cute.
That’s a great picture of the lake – I never realised you were so close to Canada!
Jackie, wejust looked at Google maps and saw that the points from Fort Niagara to Toronto, Canada are about 29 miles.
We live about two hours or a little more…not sure exactly, as we tend to “graze” along the way…from Fort Niagara.
Canada is just a literal hop, skip, and jump away from the northern US!
Wow: what a view of Toronto.
And love the fire hydrant!
