Road trip!  Travel blogger Dany spent several days with her partner Aldo in search of undiscovered gems, off-the-beaten-track venues,  driving from the Raquette Lake/Blue Mt Lake area to Tupper to Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, Ausable Chasm to the Champlain Valley area. “The Adirondack Mountains State Park seduced us right from the start with Bambi-like deer and squirrels running around to hide their acorns.

It tells you a lot about a place and the people who live there.” What do you think?  

No excursion tomorrow because of the Caribbean party cruise.  Today, 2-3:30.  $15 pp.
