The Beautiful Adirondacks and a stent??

Maybe you saw my recent short story on Facebook. Last Sunday, while enjoying the Sinfonettia concert, I felt pain by my left shoulder blade. I googled left shoulder pain and learned that there are about a dozen potential causes and about half were serious. The pain went away on Monday so I figured it was nothing serious. Tuesday morning it was back and more intense. So Penny and I went to the Champlain Valley Hospital ER. I was advised that my cardiac enzymes were slightly elevated and a cardiac catheterization was advised. The consent form also authorized placing stents if conditions warrant. I woke up with a stent and I immediately felt great. No pain and no shortness of breath which was becoming a concern.  Morale of the story...listen to your body and take nothing unusual for granted.

Now to even more pleasant stuff. This area is remarkable. In this issue I'll simply show some photos to demonstrate the point.
There is a delightful, small park about 3 miles from our campground. It has a reconditioned but beautiful covered bridge. Automobiles are not allowed. We take Sadie there on hot or rainy days and play ball retrieval with her under cover. Following those pictures is one showing where we play ball in the same park on nice days. A raging river runs under the bridge. The fourth photo was taken from the bridge and shows the river just upstream.

There are zillions of spectacular rivers and streams. The first photo is a stream about 1 mile from the campground. The second is 75 miles away.

Some views of lakes. The last one is Lake Placid taken from the peak of Whiteface Mountain.

Another view from the Whiteface peak; this view looks to the east. You can get two faint looks at Lake Champlain, 30 miles away. Beyond that are mountains in Vermont.
