Christine > Day 177:  Saranac Lake IV - Cheers!!
June 27, 2009
This photo was actually taken on Thursday but since Ken and I spent the entire day on the road traveling from Saranac Lake to the east end of Long Island, I didn't have the time or energy to take a photo for today.  This shot just about sums up how happy the hubs was.  Lower Saranac Lake is his absolute favorite place on earth.  He used to camp there every year for over 2 decades but hasn't been there since we married in 2000.  He planned the entire trip for us and I have to say, I was less enthusiastic about it than he was.  I had only been camping once before and it wasn't in a tent- it was in a cabin.  I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the experience.  I am wholeheartedly looking forward to another camping trip next summer.  The smile on Ken's face was not induced by the delicious margarita served at our favorite Mexican restaurant which is located in the Lake Placid/Saranac Lake area.  He looked like this the entire trip-  even when it rained.  He was so in his element and he felt like he was "home".  I now love Lower Saranac too as well as camping.  But next time I doubt he'll treat me like a princess.  He was just trying to break me in this trip and did all the heavy work.  Next year I'll have to carry my own weight.  :)  A huge thank you to the hubs for one of the best vacations EVER!!  xoxo

I'll be creating an entire gallery for my trip under "places".  It'll be named "Lower Saranac Lake".  It's a beautiful place- well worth a peek.  Meanwhile, I posted four days worth of PODs- this shot is day 4.  Wednesday through Friday are the prior 3 shots.
Christine > Day 176:  Saranac Lake III - Breakfast over an open fire

These were the eggs I cooked on Friday.  An egg is just an egg and tastes just like an egg, but somehow when they're prepared over an open fire deep in the mountains, they just taste better.  :)
Christine > Day 175:  Saranac Lake II
June 25, 2009
This is Thursday's POD.  I just got back from a 4 day camping trip and, although I took a ton of photos each day and selected my POD each day of the trip, I was unable to upload any on Wed, Thu and Fri.  For those that are either ambitious or interested- there are four shots posted today for all four days.  Had a great time camping on Lower Saranac in the Adirondack Mts.  I hope the photos convey the beauty and grandure of the wilderness.  In the mornings, the lake was like a mirror- undisturbed by boaters, kayakers and swimmers.  I loved the reflection of the sky.  My husband Ken (KW) had his DSLR with him but slept through sunrise. Tisk tisk!
Christine > Day 174: Saranac Lake part I
June 24, 2009
Just got back from my camping trip.  It's almost 10pm and I'm exhausted.  I took my daily photos (this was taken on Wednesday) but I had no way to upload them.  Apparently the islands on Lower Saranac Lake in upstate NY aren't equipped with wifi.  I'll post Thursday, Friday and Saturday's shots tonight then it's off to bed.  I'll catch up on all of the daily shots I've missed and will hopefully have time to comment on them all.

The above shot was taken in the morning- around 11am upon our arrival to the rental place where we reserved the boat that would get us to our island.  Our private island is just behind the one to the right.  There was only one campsite allowed on this particular one (Green Island) so it was super private.  It was beautiful.  I had never been camping on Saranac Lake but my husband is a pro.  I can't wait to do it again next year.  At $21 a night, it's a bargain! :)
