Yeah, the same opening paragraph you’ve read before. Some of these pictures were posted originally
with the travel blog write-up (original link below). Now instead of a select few, I’m sharing just
about all the pictures. Some blurry or
bad shots were removed, as well as some with others who would appreciate not
having their pictures posted again.
Please be sure to visit the original blog link for more details of the
original visit.
Since we were in the vicinity, and this was heading towards the
main destination, we checked out various places around Lake Placid. After driving up the backside of Whiteface
Mountain, we pulled into the front to see where the ski trails were. Had I more time, I probably would’ve walked
to the top just to say I did it. And
then it was just seeing nice scenery of the Adirondack Park as we neared our
destination.
We saw the sky jumps, which indecently I recall visiting these in
the late 70’s when they were still being built.
They didn’t look like much, but you never usually see them from the
bottom or side. Then as you pull into
town, out in the middle of a field was the Olympic Torch which was lit for the
1980 games. For those who were alive
when this event happened here, it was very meaningful. I was always curious to know what the younger
generation thought of this revered place.
Still, if you ever in reasonable driving distance of this, this was a
“must see” visit.
