Logs for Gryffindor1 

Stopped by this one on my caching adventure in the London area. I didn't realize that there were benchmarks in Canada, too - I've never seen any sites that included the Provinces. This was a really nice surprise/cache.

The coords I got were:
N 42 52.967
W 081 15.063

So I was pretty darn close!

This is the Sunset Drive-in located in Middleport, NY. It has three screens, but it is closed for the winter. During non-winter months, the drive-in also has a restaurant that is open during the daytime. TFTC! 

This statue is found in Williamsville, NY. It is at the same hotel/restaurant that gof1 found his statue. This one has a dog *and* a cat... TFTC! 

This is a topiary bear... I think it is relatively new and it needs to grow some, but it still looks neat as you look at it while driving past It is found outside of a toy store in Amherst, NY. TFTC! 

This is the aquarium located in Niagara Falls, NY. I remember visiting here a lot when I was a kid Here is their website for more information http://www.aquariumofniagara.org/

I couldn't find any information on this one-room school house. All I can share is that it is located in the Town of Lockport in New York, and it *is* a one room school house I had fun looking for one of these... TFTC! 

That scruffy-looking pilot and his ship were my favorite parts of the original Star Wars Except it was the Millenium Falcon, not the Millenium Funding

This is a business located in Williamsville, NY - a suburb of Buffalo.

This is the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church, located at 511 Michigan Avenue, Buffalo, NY. It was a station on the Underground Railroad. It is the oldest property continuously owned, operated and occupied by African-Americans in Western New York.

In the summer, they offer Underground Railroad tours, where you can follow the footsteps of slaves escaping to Canada. Being so close to the border, this was one of the last stops before freedom. Information on the tours can be found here
