Thank you Larry, but I knew this (though someone on the list may not have known). I am trying to locate Gage's Gulf to visit it today (more like this summer). My Grandfather fondly remembers the place. He is unable to give me the road names because he doesn't remember the roads having names back them. He rattled off how to get there, but not being a native myself (or even in this area of the US), I could not connect. All he could say for sure was that it was in the northern region of South Ripley (his hometown). BTW: My Grandfather, Red Waite, is 86. He, as well as his mother & Grandfather (Hazel Bronson Waite & Wesley G. Bronson) were born in South Ripley. My Grandfather moved north to Buffalo as an adult, looking for work to support his growing family & remains there today. Does anyone out there know him, by chance?
