Adirondack Autumn Scenery

These are just a few of the pictures I took on our drive through the Adirondack Mountains this past weekend.

Lake Placid Winter Olympic Museum

This past summer, Eddie and I took a day trip two hours north into the Adirondacks to Lake Placid, NY.  It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. He had never been to Lake Placid. The above pictures are all from the museum inside the Olympic Center. Since the winter Olympics were held there in 1932 and 1980 there was a lot to see from both of those years. More pictures to come in the following posts to show what we did during the rest of our day.

Vacation House Hunter Game

#1: Roomy Farmhouse with big front porch

#2: Cozy Cottage with great back yard

#3: Rustic Cabin Mountain Retreat

In the spirit of HGTV's show "House Hunters," I have taken photos of great abandoned Adirondack buildings that would make cute camp retreats with just a little elbow grease and creativity. Do you think we would rather have camp number 1, 2, or 3? Answer: We actually really think all of them have potential to be great camp buildings. The size and log siding of building #3 makes it our favorite! There were many buildings like this on our journey through the Adirondack towns today.

In a way, it's sad to see so many charming buildings, camps, homes and barns falling into disrepair. We saw many that were being restored and we saw many new mountain homes. It was a fun drive looking at the scenery as in the last post as well as the homes.

Scenic Adirondack Mountain Drive

Eddie and I decided to take a drive through some towns in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. We live a little south of where we drove, but some of the towns we drove through are actually towns that my ancestors are from. We drove through Lake George, Warrensburg, Athol, Thurman, Stony Creek, Hadley, Lake Luzerne and Corinth. We stopped at several scenic places along the way as well as out to lunch, antique shops, cemeteries, and town parks. I will add more posts with all of the great things we did on our outing. It was a great day for a drive!
