Marv's Neighbor Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 When I was young, my dad had a cousin at Tupper Lake. Used to be a great place to visit. Last time I was there was 1990, and it seemed very economically depressed. To me, it kind of mirrors NYS. NYC & Long Island have prospered while the rest of NYS has been in decline.

BuffaloBill Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 We’ve all known for some time that you really belong at “loon lake”. - you and the rest of the Albany area bunch are pretty Looney Tunes.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Years ago, I worked with a glib Irishman, who had come to the States to better his lot in life. After his annual vacation at the plant shutdown, we would get one of the newer fellows to ask where George went. "Lard Lake" he would reply. "Where's that?" the 'mark' would ask. "Up a pig's @$$" he would reply. Yes, it IS one of those 'you had to be theres'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So barely into the ADK? That's like going to Yonkers and saying you're in NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make it up to Lake Placid occasionally. Old Forge is only about an hour away, so going up there for kayaking is easy. I used to climb Blue Mountain, Wakely Mountain, and a few others as a day trip. Not quite High Peaks, but tough enough as far as I’m concerned. I haven’t done that kind of hiking in several years. Now my wife and I just walk around lakes and ponds mostly. There are a lot people go to Lake George and call it the Adirondacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completed the ADK Fire Tower challenge back in 2012. I've only done four of the 46ers. And I'm also working on the 100 Highest, which includes the 46ers. And if I hear about any interesting hikes I'll do those to. Just a month ago I was near Whiteface, trying to get two mountains off the 100 list, failed again, but right down the road I saw a fairly new sign and parking lot for Cobble Lookout. Decided to check it out and it was worth it. A fairly easy hike a little over 2 miles round trip, to a large overlook that faces Ester and Whiteface. I've recommended it to a few people that wanted something easy with views. https://www.cnyhiking.com/CobbleLookout.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 When you go there, do you kick everyone else out of the lake, shouting "It's mine! Can't you see my name on it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
