The Midwest Book Review - Buhle's Bookshelf

Book was listed as used but looked brand new. I used it for a weekend trip to the Ithaca, New York area and it was very helpful. We visited 6 waterfalls listed in the book. We plan to use it when planning other weekend or day trips in the central New York area. I recommend it for nayone who enjoys the outdoors and especially waterfalls. It rates the difficulty of the trail to each falls and gives directions from different areas. There are also many photos in the book to preview the falls you are thinking of visiting along with a detailed description of each.

Practical, no non-sense presentation, good map sketches, well indexed, both alphabetically and by difficulty level. Helped us plan a great vacation. GPS coordinates for a lot of parking lots were a plus in locating them before starting on a trail. We selected about 30 falls to visit, all were well described and easy to find. You still need a detailed map and/or a GPS to ease finding some of the starting points, especially if not approaching from suggested reference point.

Well written book, nice to see Rich and Sue are doing well, I used to work with them at Eastman Kodak.
