Lighting the Eternal Flame in Winter
Lighting the Eternal Flame in Winter at Chestnut Ridge Park in Orchard Park, NY.
The Eternal Flame is a natural gas jet that leaks from inside a grotto behind a 25 foot waterfall. Occasionally the flame goes out and needs to be re-lit.
We found the waterfall frozen over and the flame extinguished. Using some cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly on the end of a stick, we were able to re-light the Eternal Flame.

Eternal Flame Falls at Chestnut Ridge in Winter
Take a hike anytime of the year through Chestnut Ridge Park to see the beautiful Eternal Flame Falls. As you head down the deep canyon following Shale Creek, you'll hear the 25-foot cascade long before you turn to see the flame. The flame dancing behind the waterfalls is the result of natural gas seepage escaping though the shale. Despite technically being spring, hikers in these winter conditions will benefit from wearing traction devices on their boots. Have Fun!

Griffins Mills, New York
Griffins Mills, New York is a hamlet in the town of Aurora in Erie County, New York, USA. It lies on the West Branch of Cazenovia Creek in the area once known as West Aurora. Griffins Mills was founded in the early 19th century at the site of a mill. It is located in zip code 14170.
Griffins Mills was originally named Smith’s Mills. Abram Smith and his son Humphrey in 1806 purchased this site along with 2 other sites along Cazenovia Creek; one in what is now West Falls and another at the fork of the Cazenovia Creek. The Cazenovia Creek was named after Theophilis Cazenove who was the first general agent for Wilhelm Willink, Jr. of the Holland Land Company, who in 1798 became one of the largest land holders in Western New York. In 1809, Humphrey Smith had dammed Cazenovia Creek and had established a mill at this location.
Around the same time, Obadiah Griffin, who was married and had children in Dutchess County, New York during the Revolutionary War period, moved west and settled in Canada, near Welland, Ontario. He and his wife, Mary, requested membership in the nearby Pelham Quaker meeting in November 1803 and were accepted in March 1804. However, the War of 1812 prompted them to return to the United States. Obadiah and family, including sons Robert and James, left Canada during the height of the War of 1812 and sought to settle near his brother, Jonathan Griffin, in Orchard Park. In fact, Obadiah and Mary’s Quaker membership was transferred to the local meeting by a certificate dated January 18, 1813.
Upon their return to New York, Obadiah and his sons purchased the mill, ultimately giving their surname to the location: Griffins Mills. They successfully operated a saw mill, grist mill, carding mill, distillery and four asheries which produced potash and lye for soap making. Multiple flumes carried the water to various operations.
Obadiah’s wife died sometime prior to 1822 and in 1829 they sold the mills to Henry N. Hill and by 1831, the Griffins divested themselves of their properties and moved west to Niles, Michigan. The mills then passed from Henry Hill to Joseph Jones & Israel Smith, Henry P. Darrow, William H. Wing, Ridley Cole, William Deuel, Jabez Snashell and then acquired by Ferdinand Wanneke, who came from Germany. He operated the business until 1903 when he sold to his nephews, Theodore and Frank Yaw.
The Yaw Brothers, known throughout Western New York, operated the business for 56 years. It was in 1959 that the business ceased to operate. Yaw Brothers were known for their accurate measurements in lumber sawing.
Buckwheat flour was a specialty ground by the brothers. It was the only mill over a large area doing this type of grinding. The flour, eagerly bought for its excellent quality, was packaged in 5-, 10-, and 25-pound sacks labeled with the Yaw Brothers trademark.
Both grist and sawmills were water powered until in 1919 when a 'freak flood' washed away the dam and motors were installed to replace the large waterwheel. The remodeled, original gristmill, then 137 years old, was destroyed by fire May 9, 1947. The sawmill was remodeled and utilized as a feed mill and the business continued until April 1, 1959, when it was permanently closed.
Theodore C. Yaw died March 20, 1959 and Frank H. Yaw, December 6, 1960. The mill structure in 1961 was donated to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church on West Falls Road and subsequently moved there for use as a Sunday school building.

Devils Kettle falls, Minnesota
If you’ve ever worried that we’ve solved all the mysteries of nature, fear not. Minnesota’s Devil’s Kettle Falls has been puzzling hikers and geologists for generations. At the falls, along Lake Superior’s north shore, a river forks at a rock outcropping. While one side tumbles down a two-step stone embankment and continues on like a normal waterfall, the other side vanishes into a deep hole and disappears — apparently forever.
Niagara River Fishing
The Lower Niagara River is one of the most dynamic multi-species fisheries in the Great Lakes. Straddling the US/Canada border between Niagara Falls and Lake Ontario, the Niagara is home to world-class steelhead, lake trout, silver bass, smallmouth and brown trout fishing, and the home water of Frank Campbell of Niagara Region Charter Service. In search of spring steelhead and lake trout fishing we hopped aboard with Campbell and armed with live Chartreuse & Blue Fire Dye minnows caught dozens of fish while filming this episode of Pautzke Outdoors.
