Cayuga Mutual Overlooking The Grand River

Upon discovery of a valley and a beautiful stream, Alexander Graham Bell observed, "Now just think of that.  Here was a beautiful gorge, half a mile long, right on my own place, and coming at one point within fifty feet of a well-trodden road ~ and I never knew of its existence before!  We are all too much inclined, I think, to walk through life with our eyes shut.  There are things all around us, and right at our very feet, that we have never seen:  because we have never really looked.
"Don't keep forever on the public road, going only where others have gone, and following one after the other like a flock of sheep.  Leave the beaten track occasionally..."
