To Lake Placid







On the road to Lake Placid (1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics) and the Adirondack Mountains. And of course along the way I find a 10 mile “shortcut” county road. The pictures gives an idea of what we ended up dealing with…..one lane with patches of patched pavement….fortunately we didn’t run into anyone coming from the other direction. 10 miles in 60 minutes not so short a cut. We have arrived at the North Pole Campground on the Ausable River and the foot of Whiteface Mountain in Wilmington NY. I talked with the Forest Rangers at a boat ramp and they referred me to the guy at the hardware store to get the skinny on the lures/baits for the local fishing. Irene met her first nightcrawler (earthworm) and based on that introduction I guess I’ll be baiting those hooks. Supposedly the river is a trout haven and we’ll use spinning lures for the most part…we plan to be on the river in the morning….
