Horseshoe Falls is much larger???

Nope. I doubt very much you've been there. The striking difference between the two falls is very obvious.

I've been there tons of times. I figured mentioning Bridal Veil Falls would only confuse you. Now, Mr. Avoider, please tell me the very obvious difference between the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls. Or were you there on a family vacation when you were a child? Ah, that must be it!

I was there one time in the summer of 82. I was in Bible College and playing bass for our praise group. We were up there for a Full Gospel Business Men's Convention to do the music singing for Jesus. We also got to play at a fairly small amusement park. I drove the bus (used Trailways bus) and the thing I remember the most was some narrow streets. We did the boat ride (Maid of the Mist?) and could see the Falls though our hotel lobby window. We were there one day and had to move on to our next church. I don't recall any glaring issues with the Falls.

You just forgot. Go ahead and be honest enough to admit it. "Pride goes before a fall." (<;

YOU DROVE a Trailways bus at that age?

Look at the water falling over both precipices and where the water lands. Notice anything?

If your objective is to drive me bonkers, you are getting perilously close to it. PERILOUSLY CLOSE!

Clete, two civil people are having a conversation here. You would be out of place.

I was just pretending I'm you.

Here are photos of the American Falls:

Here are photos of the Horseshoe Falls:

Because of all the mist, it's difficult to see the difference at the base. But try. Ignore what Yoda said. Or do your own googling.

One of them is dry and has no color???

OK. Seriously now, my best guess is the amount of rubble at the base of each fall? There is much more at the American Fall?

As I said, in 1969, the army corps of engineers diverted the Niagara River to check the American side for erosion (far too many rocks had piled up at the base -- "rubble"). The Canadian side is limestone and has little erosion.

Since I'll be taking it on the computer by internet, then notes and cell phones kind of become irrelevant, so I accept your terms!

But you might google for an answer! Is there anyone around to oversee you?

Let me put it this way. I anticipate making a good score.
