Well I hope that my visit to this cache qualifies. I debated long about whether or not to do it this way, so if it doesn't meet the requirements feel free to delete my log.
I knew that anyone could access the lower river by taking the elevators down into the gorge from the obervation deck without having to go on the Maid of the Mist. The fee for this is only $1, and free during the winter months. So that's exactly what I did. I paid my $1 and made the 200' or so descent into the gorge with an elevator full of tourists. I had gone over to the stairs to the base of the American Falls before, but it's been many many years. I don't recall at all getting as wet as I did last time I went. Before I even climbed the stairs I was pretty wet. Of course I was probably the only one there who hadn't taken the boat ride so I didn't have the convenience of a blue poncho. Nevertheless, I did make the climb all the way to the top of the stairs and got promptly soaked, and I loved it on this very warm 90° early September day. I took a bunch of pictures from down there hoping that some of them would turn out since I couldn't see the screen on my camera.
Thanks for getting me back down into the gorge again to experience the fury of the falls! I had a blast down there and my whole day walking around the park.
