Bill. Well Amazon wants $47.50 for a used copy of "Finger Lakes Region". I checked www.abcbooks.com and they had quite a few 1961's but only 9 of the 1988's. The prices were quite good, a new one was $18+ mailing. For now I have ordered it from the World Cat library and it should be here in a week. Re: Forest Fall. Intriquing photo. I study it and wonder, how was this formed? what is this? etc. The librarian was not aware New York has this great country, as I wasn't either. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Hecht" <wsh6@cornell.edu> To: <nycayuga@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 7:13 PM Subject: Re: [NYCAYUGA] Triphammer Falls stereo view > There were always steam boat trips from the north end of the lake to the > south to view the gorges. > > Best book (but in need of and update) is: > Finger Lakes Region > <http://www.amazon.ca/Finger-Lakes-Region-O-D-Von-Engeln/dp/0801404371/ref=s r_1_9/701-5936190-0652344?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1179187935&sr=1-9> > by O.D.Von Engeln (Paperback - April 1988) > > bill > > Kathleen wrote: > > >Bill, to the best of your knowledge, did the people of Cayuga county visit > >these places often?
