Lake George

We re-entered the States yesterday. The TransCanada Highway between Quebec City and Montreal is in incredibly poor shape for such a major thoroughfare. Pass through Customs easily ... great relief because last year we got busted for having a lemon slice topping a piece of leftover salmon!

Lake George is the destination for the next four days. Had never been there and it was very high on my list.

Don't actually know how to properly capture our feelings when we drove into the Lake George Schroon Valley RV Resort. Horror and angst, perhaps. We were very close to leaving and seeing if The Sagamore had a room. Spent a dreadful night, very loud and very unattractive.

Rick is a god! While the park is not what we had thought it would be, there are a few sites on a very pretty river. I had tried to book one months ago and couldn't. This morning Rick marched up to the office and found out someone had not shown up for their river site. We were unhooked and there within 15 minutes. Site #54 is the best there is here.

We go from the ridiculous to the sublime...lunch at The Sagamore on Lake George in Bolton Landing. We spend a leisurely afternoon, dining on the terrace, watching the water and investigating the grounds. It is lovely. Tried to book a dinner or luncheon cruise...totally full. If you come here, should reserve in advance. The schooner, Morgan, is a beautiful 75-year-old vessel, gracefully appointed.







Wander into the village...have to drive all the way into Glen Falls to find a grocery store, go back, grill shrimp on flavor infused skewers and intend to lock ourselves in. Little did we know how the evening would turn!

We hear a band tuning up. They start to really rock. We throw on some jeans and follow the sounds to a big pavillion on the property. There's a huge crowd, from infants to grandparents, movin' and a groovin'! Of course, we spend the next two hours dancing to the sounds of Standing Room Only. They are very good!
