Greybeard Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 we should just invade canada so we can get the better falls. Seriously though, our falls is embarassing. 287628[/snapback] Now there is a goal. We could turn the Canadian city of Niagara Falls into what the American city has become.

Have pictures of me walking around the mostly dry riverbed...coool 287551[/snapback] Me too - although I was only 5 yrs old and my memory of it is very vague.

BravinSeattle Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Great story Labatt. Does anyone else remember in the late 60's or early 70's when they dammed the Falls to check out the rock erosion--they diverted the water flow to the Horseshoe falls. I can't remember the exact dates..but I do remember my dad taking me (I was 9 or 10 at the time) and him pointing out that the rocks at the base of the falls were as big as our house...... I see it -- it mentions the 1969 shut off in the same story at the bottom. 287518[/snapback] Do you have any pics you could post?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Jessie Sharp in kayak (1990) and Robert Overacker in jet ski (1995). Anyone care to shed some light on why these knuckleheads thought they could make it over the falls? Was beer involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
