Rick is visiting and we did a circle route around the Adirondack Park today. We left the campground and headed north and then west to Lake Placid. We visited the site of two winter Olympics where summer training is in full swing. We all got on the chair lift and went up the mountain where the ski jumping and free style takes place. On top we took an elevator up the 40 meter tower and looked down the steep slopes where the skiers compete. Pretty high up there and scary too. At the bottom we saw young athletes practicing their moves and then somersaulting into a swimming pool. No mean feat wearing skis and boots and crash helmets. We then drove through the towns of Lake Placid and Saranac Lake and stopped in Long Lake for dinner. We sat outside overlooking Long Lake and then had ice cream and relaxed in comfy Adirondack chairs. Perfect ending to a great day.
