Adirondack park

Back years ago when the kids were little our Sunday afternoon activity, with gasoline at 25 cents/gal, was to just head out on rural roads and drive around and enjoy the countryside.  From Kissee Mills one day we ended up in a barnyard in Arkansas and another time we were near Bull Shoals Lake and ran out of gas.  A farm house near by had a gas tank for their tractor and the lady of the house even warmed up some of their milk for Phyllis while we got the car restarted.

It was a very nice day today for a scenic drive through parts of the Adirondack Park with bright sunlight and nice temperatures, at least this morning.  Check the link in the sentence above for information to know that this is the largest public area in the lower 48 and it is beautiful.  The mountains are lush and green as you could guess after the record snow levels from last winter in this area.  There are many mountain lakes as seen in the pictures below and clear rocky bottom mountain streams.  This campground is right on the banks of the West Canada Creek which is where I took the last shot.
