I was hoping to try a new place to eat in a little town along Route 79 East between Ithaca and Route 81. I'd seen the signs, and was hopeful for both good food and maybe some local eats... unfortunately, when I drove by at 6pm, there was an open sign in the window, and not a soul in the parking lot. That is a Bad Food Omen, and I chose not to stop. I did notice another place earlier in the day, along Route 89 near Taughannock Falls that was PACKED; I'll try there next time I'm up!
Base of Taughannock Falls, March 19, 2010.
The Persistence of Winter: spring ice on the path to the falls. March 19, 2010. I wouldn't have wanted to be around when that fell down the gorge.
The Persistence of Winter II. Ice on the path to the falls. It was 64F when I took this photo. March 19, 2010.
Spring Shoreline. Cayuga Lake at Taughannock State Park, just north of the Marina. March 19, 2010.
Reconstruction work at the Wesleyan Chapel, Women's Rights NHP, Seneca Falls. View from the front; you can see how far forward the rebuilding will come by the open spaces in the scaffolding floor, to the right. March 19, 2010.

LMAO @ "Bad Food Omen." ;)
The waterfall picture makes me want to go to a waterfall. Stat.
Nice pictures! It was up near 70F here yesterday, and the crocus are blooming, daffodils and tulips coming up, and some of the trees and bushes are already opening their buds. I just hope it doesn't get too cold again in the spring. I just posted a few pictures of my own, though my local area sadly lacks any waterfalls.
Wow, Friday feels like forever ago already...
Inky: no water features by you? I'm pretty sure I saw a natural spring water source on my way home. Next time up, I will stop and see how it tastes!
RPS77: Nice spring pictures (and mystery building)! Weren't all the waterfalls in MA used up to power industry? ;)
Thank you. As far as I know, eastern and central Massachusetts never had much in the way of waterfalls. The rivers are generally small and while the land is hilly in some spots, there are very few natural cliffs (most of the cliffs I've seen in this area are where they blasted and cut through hills for roads or railroads). There were some areas of rapids, and some of them are still around, but a lot of them were eliminated or otherwise modified to make the rivers more convenient for industry.
These are beautiful!
I love that photo of the falls. I need to go there more often ....
Thanks!
