A Visit To The Adirondack Mountains

My new friend Squatlo is feeling the loss of his Smoky Mountain Vacation. I fully understand his emotions. I live in the foothills of the Adirondacks which makes all of the scenery in this video within a 90 minute drive from my home. It might take a bit longer to get to Lake George where the big boat pictures appear to have been taken, but everything else is close and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    That area is quite a contrast to Manhattan. I hope the land developers don't ruin it over the next few generations.

  2. Whit,

    The Adirondacks consist of 6.1 million acres of National Park. It's been a preserve since 1892, developers can't get their hands on it although some have tried. It's the largest national forest existing in the US.

    The park starts 28 miles from my home. Can't beat that.
