Taughannock with Spikes

Last weekend, Ryan and Sarah went to NYC to celebrate Sarah's birthday! They had a great time and got to visit so many cool restaurants. But since they couldn't take Spikes too easily, Mike and I got to dogie-sit. So on Saturday we decided to take her to Taughannock for a hike. It was actually pretty nice out, only in the 30's, but unfortunately VERY muddy!

Here's Spikes in the car - getting so excited!!

The water had such beautiful shades of blues and greens.


Taughannock Falls

This is the limestone streambed. It's got all these divots because of acid rain that has collected and evaporated over the years - it just eats away at it. A neat illusion though.

This is off to the side of the waterfall where all the mist collects and then freezes. It's really so beautiful!

And here is a dirty Spikes belly! Oh well, she actually cleaned up quite nicely :)
