Excellent areas of cycling and trail running in the Niagara Area as well with the Bruce Trail. It runs approximately 550 miles from Niagara River into Northern Ontario.

Certainly looks like it could be a scene from west Texas. If so, yes, I’ve likely been there.[/quote]
THAT IS SO COOL! THat means you got to be near where my favorite movie of all time was filmed!
Alright. Let me ask you something. If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?
Do you have any idea how crazy you are?
You mean the nature of this conversation?
I mean the nature of you.
…
Uhh, ya!

The Bruce Trail is incredible.
Back onto waterfalls, Beamer’s Falls in Grimsby is pretty cool, and you almost always have the place to yourself.

Can’t say I’ve been to that exact spot but there certainly are areas like that in west Texas, feeding in to the rockies.
The Devils River, also in West Texas, is known as one of the most pristine rivers in the world and looks very out of place for the common perception of Texas.
Linking from phone is a bitch but a Google image search will impress.
The Texas hill country, west of San Antonio and Austin to be accurate, is full of spring fed, limestone bottom rivers as clear as can be. Fredericksburg out to Junction up hwy 16 through Kerville, Medina, Bandera and on is one of the most beautiful stretches of highway any where.

Absolutely Beautiful
This is a picture of a castle in Bayburt, Turkey. I lived there for 3 months visiting my dad who is a professor at the university there. A really beautiful town, but it was quite a big culture shock living there though.

N.B. Historical references about to be made so if you dont appreciate shit from the past then tough tits!
This pic (Reginalds Tower) is just outside my workplace in Waterford. The tower was built by the Vikings in 1003 and is named after the Hiberno-Norse, (Irish-Viking) ruler of the city Ragnall MacGillemaire son of Imar.
Reginald’s Tower was also where Strongbow, the leader of the Anglo-Norman (English Cunt lol) invasion force in 1170, met Aoife, the daughter of Dermot McMurrough, King of Leinster, then began Norman control of Ireland
King John woz ere in 1210, Richard II woz ere in 1394 and again in 1399. In 1399 Richard left Reginald’s Tower as King of England and Wales; on his arrival in England he was captured by the future Henry VI and forced to abdicate.
In 1463 the Irish Parliament established a mint in the tower. In 1495, the tower’s cannons successfully deterred the forces of Perkin Warbeck, the pretender to the throne of Henry VII. This act of loyalty earned the city its motto ‘Urbs Intacta Manet’ - ‘Waterford remains the unconquered city’.
In 1690 following his defeat at the Battle of the Boyne, King James II of England is alleged to have climbed to the top of the tower to take a last look at his lost kingdom before embarking for exile in France.
During the 17th and 18th centuries the Tower was used as a store for munitions and in the early 19th century it functioned as a prison.
Now endith my history lesson…spank you and goodnight!
Another picture of one of the dozens of isolated beaches.
Not sure which wreck this is, but the photo is cool. I remember a wreck I dove on the Lake Huron side of the Marine Park about 10 years ago in 60 or 70 feet of water that had a steam boiler around eight feet in diameter and fifteen high that you could swim through and exit out the top. The water was so clear you could see it from the surface.

Ever been to the Calgary Stampede? Based on my 5 minute google search it’s not as big as your Houston Rodeo but you seem like you’d enjoy 10 days of drinking and debauchery to go along with the exhibition itself. And there’s a lot of partying that goes on during the Stampede.

Too bad the water is so cold that just the thought of it is enough to make your balls ache.
Edit: my mistake I didn’t read the caption, the pic looked like somewhere on Lake Superior.
