stevestojan Posted October 28, 2005 Author Posted October 28, 2005 what you mean is "there's stojan fallin off the bridge" 488379[/snapback] it's falling off the wagon jackass...
Ramius Posted October 28, 2005 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!

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.

And I was on that bridge in Millhouse's picture the last time I was there...don't get that far south very often. 488761[/snapback] The one time a train actually came across when there were about 6 of us on the bridge...now that was some freaky sh--, having a train speed by about 2 feet away from you, while you crouch and hang on to anything with the bridge swaying...
AKC Posted October 28, 2005 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.

rockpile Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Bridge Photo 488342[/snapback] People actually jump off that bridge!
rockpile Posted October 28, 2005 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.
Dan Gross Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Drove through Perry today - depressing. 488977[/snapback] They do a nice "Last Night" (formerly "First Night" until the licensing fees got too big) celebration though...for a small town. We've been to the past couple...

They take that area at pretty slow speeds.

AKC Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 There is a walkway on the side at least 5 feet wide and a sturdy railing. 488974[/snapback] 5 Feet seems slightly generous- I can tell you that of the maybe 6 times I've been out on the trestle when the train was approaching NOTHING about "waiting it out" on that little walkway sounded like a good idea!
OnTheRocks Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Ever see the Silver Lake Serpent? 489005[/snapback] keep your pants on there Dan.
Just Jack Posted October 29, 2005 Posted October 29, 2005 Bridge Photo 488342[/snapback] Ahhh, the lower falls.

I can't even imagine how much money that place rakes in.

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.
