BUTTERMILK GORGE. 85 



Not far above these the road bridge marks the end of 

 Buttermilk Gorge. Beyond the bridge the creek mean- 

 ders tranquilly through farming lands. The road which 

 crosses the bridge leads back to Ithaca, along the ridge 

 of South Hill, by a route which furnishes magnificent 

 pictures of the lake and valley.
