And, I mean, if you are EVER going to see an amazing site by chopper, I’m pretty sure Niagara Falls is the place to see. We were the first on the helicopter (SCORE for being the first ones of the day in the freshly sanitized, 2 passenger helicopter!) Mark grew up in the Aerospace industry and had yet to ever travel by helicopter. We took a helicopter tour! What what?!?! It was kind of spur of the moment. Mark filming Niagara Falls NY from the chopper tour By Air Let’s just say we didn’t hang out in the city for any length of time – but those amazing water falls were just that.

He expected a remote area full of amazing water falls. But still a city, and out for that tourist dollar. I guess I had the advantage of having done The Covid Research, and knew that Niagara Falls is a built up city – based on a beautiful natural wonder. After some time spent Boondocking in Target or Walmart parking lots on the way north (I know, glamorous, right? But trust me, no one bugs us or comes near us with their Covid cooties in those spots) we made it to the, well, even less glamorous city of Niagara Falls, NY. And several safety precautions are in play. But the pandemic… I got online and checked to see if the park is even open. And suddenly we realized Niagara Falls was calling.īeing SO far north, it seemed kind of silly not to go and see things that we’ve always wanted to see. How did we end up in Niagara Falls? We were in Annapolis, hanging out in the driveway of Cam and Jeff (aka Moochdocking), making plans for where to head next. We’ve been spending most of our time in the woods, or Moochdocking on friends’ property. No State Park fees, no RV parks, no crowds of random strangers – and usually a water top-off and hot shower.

What’s Moochdocking, you ask? It’s staying in someone’s driveway for free. Mostly boondocking (check out our Off Grid set up here), but occasionally Moochdocking (my favorite new word) when we hit areas where friends live. We’ve been traveling in Lolo, the RV, for weeks now. **For more of my thoughts on travel in this Corona Climate, check the end of this post.** Turns out, if you throw a pandemic on top of my general Crowd Dislike, I crawl even further inside my own personal cave. And this dislike started well before any of this Covid 19 mess. I mean, unless it’s a Full Moon Party in the islands or Jouvert, I totally avoid crowds.
