More Lake Placid #2

The Sinfonietta that was mentioned in our last blog plays on, both at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts on Sundays and lakeside on Wednesday evenings. I was able to get a couple of photos. The first was during last Sunday's warm up before the performance and the second lakeside.

We also enjoy a variety of outdoor activities; golfing in the mountains, hiking and boating. You know us. Wherever there is water, you will find us in a boat.

 

This is one of Lake Placid's modest homes. This one is on Buck Island and is accessible only by boat.

 

This is a cute little boat house with guest quarters above. What you can't see here is the immense main house hidden in the woods.

 

There are dozens of hiking trails in the Adirondacks; six are labeled 'easy'. They may as well call them, 'For Shattuck's only'. This one is reached by driving six miles into the woods on a dirt road. Sadie walks fives miles for every one we walk. It's quiet, serene and beautiful here.

 

 

We don't play a lot of golf. When we do play it's mostly on mountain courses. This is a section of the Tupper Lake Country Club course. Back in the mid-70s, we had a weekend log cabin just off the first tee. This was also a super place for cross country skiing. Don Nolen just told me that while playing with the Thorndycrafts last week, he fell one shot short of golfing his age. I guess my day will come when I'm 115.
