Frozen Waterfalls

“Dare and I dayhiked in the Catskills on Friday (it was on our way up to the Adirondacks.)

Frozen and sparkling, the falls are incredible. The upper tier falls 175 ft, combining with the lower to make it the highest waterfall in NY (260+ ft drop.)

Here are some pictures from Kaaterskill Falls:
Catskills, NY”

“Somebody cancel my credit card! It's holiday shopping time, and I'm a menace to society! (Oops, better make that my bank account!) LOL, LOL, LOL!”

“those falls are great pics! Ive never seen frozen falls like that!”

“OOOOooooo, Ahhhhh...pretty! I bet it was brilliant in person.”

“A group of friends and I went to Douglas Houghton Falls in the Keewenaw in winter (Michigan U.P.). We found some great ice slides, rode them to the bottom, and had a heck of a time getting back up. Its one of my favorite memories from the U.P.”

“Wow! Awesome pics! Neat-o, thanks for sharing.”

“The beauty of winter hiking! Thanks!”

“It looks like you and Dare are about to be swept away by huge waves.”

“The place was gorgeous and best of all we had it all to ourselves.

The mineral deposits in the soil and rock up there cause the waterfalls to have a bluish tint to them. The sunlight really sets it off, but the pics don't do it justice. :o)”

“AWESOME AMY!!!

Now where is that link with the directions? :-)”

“I usually take the Saugherties exit off of the thruway. The falls are off 23A.

I have a bunch of shots from there, when they are raging...I'll have to try to locate them on my old computer, since photopoint is no longer in existence. (grrrr)

Here's a pic (not mine) of them in Summer-
”

“I found one:

Last Summer”

“Looks like you linked to your members location, not community page.”

“Thanks, Path.

sheesh, I am getting rusty at this computer stuff. Must be all that time I've been spending outdoors. ;o)

Try this!”

“What are those green things on the trees around the falls?

Its been so long since I've seen them that I forget what they are called.”

“oh come on now, Adventurist...it's only January! You love Winter!

:o)”

“I love snow...
I love all the seasons for their own traits...

I am one with the seasons....

When is the next trip???”

“I dunno...I'll try to give ya more than 10 days notice next time. maybe.

;o)”

“That would be mighty kind of you there missy...”

“Smiley Girl is right, the U.P. has lots of great falls to visit summer and winter. Those who have been to Pictured Rocks in the summer should see the falls in the winter.”

“Cool pics.”

“Thanks for the info Amy. I wanna check out this place. Looks fantastic!”

“Hey AmyG man those are some GREAT pictues....I want to go there.....That looks so cool....You are very luckey.”

“AmyG, was there enough snow over there to try out your modified sled? Very nice pics.”

“Hi Stanlee! No, not much snow in the Catskills(where the falls were) to test out the sled. Besides that, we just dayhiked there. The Adirondacks were perfect with snow, however!

>:D”

“If there is one thing cool about seeing frozen water is seeing it just come out of rocks.In Hoosier National Forest there are lots of places where water just seems to come out of no where.And then it freezes.It looks real cool.”

“yeah Mike, I also love the hollow sound water makes when it is flowing under the waterfall.

kewl :o)”

“Ya that is cool becuase when the creeks are frozen on top the water is still moveing underneath the ice that also sounds cool.”

“AmyG? When are you getting married? Who is Dare? What kind of truck does he have? Is his truck cooler than mine was? How old are you now? Do you have the biggest breasts on TT? did you ever bury your Hamster?”

“yes.”

“Oh really! SO you are getting married in Yes, and his truck is one of those new Toyota YesUV's, and you are Yes years old?

Very Interesting!”

“LOL..............;)”

“Oh god... You are a wicked witch? Poor Hammie!”

“Don't go chaseing waterfalls...please stick to the rivers and lakes that you're use to!”

“Truck? I have a truck? Oh yeah, its just been awhile since I've seen it.”

“That is just too much...:)”

“Am I evil if I like to watch the little satanic hamster spin?”

“Yeah, but I'd think that even if you didn't.”

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL!”

“lol.....Just think, I have to live with the girl who posted the satanic hampster. Suddenly I feel very nervous.”

“Booze doesn't mix with EVIL!
Zombie hamsters are coming for you at night!”

“sheesh Dare, ya never thought the hamsters were skeery before. A little kinky, perhaps, but...

gigglegiggle”

“EWWWWW!!!!!!!
That's gross!!!!!
There's got to be an agency we can call on this one!!!

I can see the headlines now!!!”

“Kinky hamsters?? Good gawrsh!! If gerbals are mentioned, I'm gonna spew!! ;o)”

“Ok I think this has gone too far!”

“I think Dare and AmyG went to far...”

“Those dancing satanic hamsters are pretty scary.




















But the mutant ones are really weird!
”

“Oh that worked great!”

“Click here and here for the mutants.”
