What a trip to the Adirondacks !!!....... had all of our bags and stuff packed and ready to go by Thurs supper... we kept checking the weather chanel etc.. with rain and snow showers here in Wayne... We just decided to make an early go of it... left here about 8am and it was funky out... with our new car we could check the outdoor temp as we drove north... how surprised were we when the roads cleared and it got warmer and warmer... sun came out... after we settled in I sat on the wide front steps and read for an hour in the warm sun..how nice.
A very nice wknd with old friends.. we work & play hard...clearing the leaves,putting up storm windows etc etc and in my case ...using Butchers wax on some wood bathroom shelving to protect from toothpaste etc .. a great time had by all... love their chef John ...who makes good food esp his soup and cookies... a songfest by a well known Adirondack folk singer/song writer (Dan Berggren) was held on Saturday night...for us he is best known for his song called simply "Sagamore" http://mog.com/music/Dan_Berggren/Adirondack_Green/Sagamore click on Sagamore to hear.. we all know this song by heart
Saw many deer, once 6 at one time.. I was only 20 ft from a young spike horn.. they were not afraid...
The only negative about the trip was what happens on the roadway.. hubby went out for gas at 7am friday and a deer missed his car by inches... other times some careless speeding drivers came so close to make our hair stand on end... getting so it isnt so much fun to drive... 5 hrs each way in our case... but we did arrive home safe and sound by supper time on Sunday. Our son ordered pizza and antipasta salad.. a good way to end a trip
