Taughannock Falls

by: Zoë
This was the last  stop on our trip and every one was anxious to get home. How ever that doesn't mean that Taughannock wasn't enjoyable



 Lady of the falls
She graces the water with her beauty
the light shines through her athletic shorts and tie die t shirt
she is as elegant and dainty as a flower until 
PLOP!
she lands in the stream






According to legend an epic battle took place here between the Delaware and Cayuga Indians. 
The Cayuga won.
They tossed the Delaware chief Taughnnock over the falls.






 The Snake
"SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!" Shrieks Kinsey 
"Where?" We all want to know.
She points to a tiny wiggly line slithering across the dead leaves.
The baby garter snake paid us no attention.


The hammock
made for relaxation 
swish in the breeze
drift of in its rhythmic sway


leaving our last campsite of the Mcclelland 2015 tour!
