Northeast Tour Day 17 (Traveling Home)

We had one last day of driving from Toronto back down to Pittsburgh. En route we simply had to make a stop at Niagara Falls to see what all of the fuss was about. To be honest, it was hard to see much of the falls because of all the mist, and it was hard to photograph them because our camera lenses were soaked (along with all of our clothing) within a few seconds on the viewing platform. So from that perspective, maybe they were a bit disappointing but the park around the falls was really a lovely walk and more than made up for the falls not being very photogenic.
After Niagara Falls, we drove to Buffalo, New York, and had lunch before continuing on to Pittsburgh to rest for the night. It wasn't much of a rest however, as that we had a 6am flight, which meant that we would have to get up extra early so that we would be able to turn in our rental car in time to catch our flight. I was a little let down that nobody was at the rental agency at 4 in the morning, mostly because I really wanted to see their reaction when they saw how many miles we had put on that bad boy.
The final numbers from our road trip look like this: 12 US states, 5 Canadian provinces, and 2 national capitals in just 17 days, with a grand total of just under 4,000 miles. That's called making the most of the "unlimited miles" clause of our rental contract!
