A Couple Of Roadside Falls, Oneida County, New York 4-19-2015
The first photo is on the mohawk river and flows into lansing kill. The second photo is most likely a seasonal one, as my maps are not showing a stream in the location. Information not yet posted.

FOUND THIS TODAY, WHILE SEARCHING FOR A DIFFERENT ONE! INFORMATION NOT YET POSTED
Lansing and Bakers Falls and Pixley Falls, Oneida County New York
Lansing and Bakers Falls is located just north of Pixley Falls. All three falls are located just south of Boonville on route 46.
Pixley Falls in located in the Boonville Gorge State Park. For the many times I have been here, I did not realize that the trail above the main falls held some smaller falls.
Lansing and Bakers Falls are in the same location together. Both falls face each other and then combine together.
Please vote for your favorite photo in each album. Please do not vote on the photos with people in them.
Asking for opinions on several waterfalls 4/24/2015
I am working on a personal project. I will be posting several different waterfalls. I am asking my family, friends and all viewers to please take a moment of your time. Go to each set of locations, either leave a comment, or like the photo you think is the best. Please take the time and look through the entire album, as the photos were taken in different years and seasons. Should the album contain the different season, please vote for a photo in the different season also.
I will be posting this on several waterfall groups and pages. So to some it may look repetitive posting.
The more opinions I receive the better the end result will be for me. I thank everyone in advance for taking the time to do this for me.
In the future, after I initially get started and this works out, I will be posting, and asking the same. This first round will be quite big.
