Wells Falls
Despite living in Ithaca all this time, we are still shocked when we
suddenly stumble upon yet another gorge, despite knowing in advance
that's where the waterfalls are.
This last gorge is the one on Six Mile Creek. This is Ithaca's water supply,
so you aren't allowed in the water. And also, it is an infamous
nude sunbathing area. We thought its reputation might be overstated,
but there definitely were naked people about when were going to this
waterfall.
We went to this waterfall on a beautiful April day, after spending the morning
spending a bit too much money at the
Ithaca Booksale.
This falls is also called "Business Man's Lunch" falls, probably due to
its proximity to downtown Ithaca. Built into the cliff beside it is
an old power plant:
Near the base of the falls is a tree Kristina really liked with an
impressive root system:
After viewing this falls, we went on to more mundane things like
grocery shopping, and unpacking our books from the sale. Kristina
has impressively managed to read 6 books in the past few hours.
And thus ends April...
