Next time you visit Niagara Falls, make sure you take the "Maid of the Mist" tour which is a powerful little tugboat ferry that goes VERY CLOSE to torrent in the Horseshore Falls. They give you free raincloaks and you get all sprayed with mist, and rainbows. It's neat feeling the tug engine thrumming 'forward' with all its might just staying stationary in one place right by the Falls. It's fun.

Wolf "I think there are also tug ferries that visit the American Falls, but those tours are ho-hum. Besides, in a few hundred years it looks like the American Falls will fall apart completely -- there's nothing that can prevent the natural decay caused by the tremendously strong torrent -- and eventually they'll become a set of nice, craggly rapids. Unless someone pulls another Save-the-Natural-Monuments trick (using artificial aids like concrete, steel turn-buckles, and spackle, of course ;-)" spirit
