Ramius Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 The railroad bridge gives a hell of a view too. Just ignore the no trespassing sign and hop the fence, climb the hill, and wander out onto the bridge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be. And I was on that bridge in Millbank's picture the last time I was there...don't get that far south very often.

AKC Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 A trip to Letchworth is incomplete without a walk out onto the trestle, only to be chased off by the whistle of an oncoming train. That south entrance also takes you out to a great little bar in Portageville- you go left off 19A to the 436 and there are two places there, it's the further bar in town but the name escapes me right now. It's actually the old bar in the downstairs of a hotel and it's a classic old building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpile Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 The "downtown" area..is basically a ghost town.Warsaw on the other hand, is moving up in the world..we're getting a Tim Hortons. 488338[/snapback] Drove through Perry today - depressing.

I can't even imagine how much money that place rakes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good fishing along the Silver lake inlet (or outlet?) too. 489003[/snapback] When I was a kid we used to sneak in to the drive-in. Years later I used to party with the guy who runs it now. Silver Lake Drive in Every year there was a Sea Serpent parade and even a beauty contest and a crowned Sea Serpent Queen. Silver Lake Sea Serpent This is one of the few lakes that has both the inlet and outlet streams on the same end. The lake was largely fed by undeground springs.
