Letchworth State Park

[John G]

My girlfriend and I did a little cabin camping this Sun-Tues in beautiful Letchworth State Park. The leaves are really starting to explode with color up here in WNY, and the park was amazing.

Here's a few pics!
A view of the gorge from Inspiration Point.

Our cabin.

The Middle Falls, tallest of the three waterfalls located in Letchworth.

Another view of the Middle Falls, and my lovely companion.

After an early morning hike, we returned to the cabin where I cooked breakfast. Eggs to order, breakfast sausage w/onions and sweet peppers. Hot tea and OJ. (my Landi PSK was the blade of choice for food prep!)

Spotted some interesting fungi.

My Ontario RAT3 chopped up apples for lunch.

Letchworth is known as "The Grand Canyon of The East."

You can see the Middle and Upper falls, as well as the train trestle in this pic.

I found these weird mushrooms. They leaked a sticky black liquid. Anyone know what they are? (Landi PSK for scale)

Stairs to the Lower Falls

Footbridge area.

My 1950's-era Boy Scout hatchet split wood with ease. I started both night's campfires with some osage shavings sent to me by Never Too Sharp. Great stuff!

What a trip! Good food, good weather, great scenery. We both had a blast. If you're thinking about visiting Letchworth, this is the perfect time of year.

I think that leaking mushroom is an inky cap of some sort.

Yeah, I love that knife. Somehow, it keeps jumping into my hand before most other knives. A tough little workhorse, easy to sharpen and to keep sharp. :thumbup:

I would have missed that had you not mentioned it

Way to point out a flaw in what would have been a great trip!

2:30 AM and this thread gave me the sudden urge to fry up a couple eggs.....weird. Cool pics, I dig that cabin.
