Excursion Voting: Niagara Falls or Letchworth State Park
-
Letchworth State Park was voted the best state park in the nation this year! http://nysparks.com/parks/79/details.aspx
Niagara Falls is also awesome!
http://www.niagarafallstourism.com/Which would you prefer to do?
-
I'm from the region so shouldn't have a vote. But some info for people trying to decide:
Niagara Falls:
- Farther Drive
- Lots of people arriving by car will already have seen it
- World famous destination
- Requires a passport and entry into Canada to do anything significant
- Maid of the Mist boatride
- Lots of tourists
Letchworth State Park:
- Located minutes from NTG HQ
- Is the local park for many of us growing up and gives some insight into people that you know
- Is called the "Grand Canyon of the East" for Portgage Canyon that runs through the middle of the park
- Has three waterfalls to NF's two
- Would have many fewer tourists and be more casual for hanging out
- No Alcohol in the park
-
I would prefer Letchwood. I've been to Niagara and its best to cross into Canada to see it.
-
As a point of interest... the MangoCon Conference is going to be held right on the bank of the Genesee River just before it empties into Lake Ontario. Letchworth State Park sits on the same river but was up stream where there is a huge dam.
-
Honestly? As someone from this area Letchworth would be my first choice.
If this is our option we could do food from Wegmans (awesome subs and cookies) or The Charcoal Corral http://charcoalcorral.com/wp2014/ -
If we do Letchworth.... my guess is that making everyone go to the CC and SLDI in Perry for movies, pizza and evening drinking makes the most sense.
-
Another point of interest.... the travel to Letchworth would include a trip past @Minion-Queen's high school.

I'm plenty lecherous as it is.

I'm not sure to what this is a reference. But the placement is hilarious.

AWOOOOOOOOOGAAAAA Make ready to dive, all bow planes down 30, blow all tanks! -
Assuming this is the day after thing? I will not be able to stick around (assuming I come as I plan).
-
@JaredBusch Yes this is a day after thing.
-
I will be able to stay as long as my boss allows....

@dominica doesn't get out of it either....
And yes, that is a Niagara Orange fleece from years before (cough cough) anyone else thought of going orange. That is the actual original colour matched fleece for the company colours.
