Day 2 – The Adirondacks

The word “Adirondack” originated as a derogatory term given to the Algonquin tribe by the neighboring Mohawk, meaning”barkeaters”.

It’s been a good day but a long day as we went from point A to point B in nothing resembling a straight line. The Adirondacks are beautiful but I didn’t get many pictures today. Passed through Lake Placid late this afternoon and saw the Olympic village and the big torch no longer burning. Absolutely gorgeous area! We are camped near by and will catch the ferry across Lake Champlain in the morning.

By the way, the Adirondacks are the only mountains in the Eastern U.S. that are not geographically Appalachian.

Grabbed Subways on the way in tonight so we didn’t have to go back out.
