NY road trip, June 23, 2007
I left Saturday morning, June 23, and first went to Lake George,
at the south end of the Adirondack mountain range, about 60 miles
north of Albany . The south end of the lake was super busy with people
everywhere. I headed north and ate breakfast at a country diner in
Bolton Landing on the west side of Lake George. Later, I went farther
north into the mountains and checked out Lake Placid, and then finally
to Plattsburgh, about 150 miles north of Albany. |

| I asked someone to take a picture of me sticking my
face through this wooden goalie cut-out. When she took the first picture,
the guy from the luge simulator came over and said, "hey, you can't
take that picture." I felt like a sad little kid for a minute, but
then he said, "...not without this," as he pulled a fake gold
medal out of his pocket and put it around my neck. Notice no gold medal (left) and then the gold medal around my neck (right). lol. |

| I saw a black bear cross the road somewhere between Saranac Lake and Plattsburgh. He climbed over the guard-rail about 1/4 mile in front of me and then quickly went into the woods. I took this picture approximately where he crossed the road at. | Another nice view between Saranac Lake and Plattsburgh |
