Next stop was “The Hedges” which is a resort that Deb’s friend Mary and her husband Brad have been going to for a long time. Very sweet place, kind of like a compound that you rent a cabin at and then can use all the facilities in the compound. Beautiful old historic buildings and lots of families.
Then on to the “Adirondack Experience, The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake”. We have both been here before but it’s been a few decades. It is now
a huge museum which we will need to take two days to explore. Beautiful wooden boats, renovated historic camps, a display about Theodore Roosevel’s race to Washington from Mt Marcy when President McKinley was shot, lots of native American history and crafts, and more and more. We did not have time to see everything but the ticket is good for two days so we will come back tomorrow and finish the rest.
We had to hustle to make it to the Raquette Lake boat tour in the afternoon. It was a 90 minute trip around the lake with a narrator talking about each of the big camps and their history and back stories. Wonderful.
Then back to the campground to swim and enjoy some beach time. The water was warm and the air was still smoggy from the Canadian fires. You can’t smell the smoke but you sure can see it. Hazy since we have been here.
Dinner of tacos, some reading and then bed.
