New York, New York




Jeff and I drove to Blue Mountain Lake today and visited the Adirondack Museum. It's above 50 miles each way and a beautiful drive on country roads. As we passed through Warrensburg there were more motorcycles than the last time and everyone seems to be having a great time. We've met people our age who have been coming to this rally for over 20 years. Must be lots of fun.

When we reached the museum we found a rustic setting with several large buildings and smaller structures with exhibits. Some of our favorites were the transportation and boat areas. There were stage coaches, buckboards, old carriages and cars. The boat section explained how to make guide boats, canoes and kayaks. They had old racing boats and other interesting things. There was an old schoolhouse on the property and an area devoted to hunting and kids camps. We had lunch in their cafe and saw the hummingbird at a feeder at the window. The view of Blue Mountain Lake was taken from our table.

We got back and had dinner and then enjoyed a campfire at our site.
