The Adirondack Carousel and The Adirondack Scenic Railroad
This video was taken on September 21, 2012 at about 12:15 p.m. showing the close physical relationship of the Adirondack Carousel in the William Morris Park and the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. One sees the Adirondack Scenic Railroad train leaving the Union Station in downtown Saranac Lake, N.Y. on its first return trip of the day to Lake Placid, N.Y. The economic relationship of the carousel and the railroad is a symbiotic one from which both greatly benefit, as do the business communities of Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, N.Y. This same railroad line's tracks extend all the way to Utica, N.Y. where they directly connect to Amtrak, although at the present time the 80 miles of track between Saranac Lake and Thendara, N.Y. are out-of-service trackage and cannot be used at present for passenger service. However these tracks could easily be restored, as earlier the tracks between Snow Junction and Thendara, N.Y., and Lake Placid and Saranac Lake were restored. This would give the North Country direct railroad access to the rest of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The Adirondack Carousel is located at the corner of Depot Street and Bloomingdale Avenue (New York State Route 3), and Saranac Lake Union Railroad Depot is located on Depot Street approximately 600 feet from the Carousel. One can see in the video that the only thing that separates the northbound (in railroad terms) passenger loading platform from the lawn which surrounds the carousel is a chain link fence.

Saranac Lake Free
Located just 9 miles northwest of the bustling tourist town of Lake Placid, Saranac Lake is the perfect escape from the high prices that accompany Lake Placid's Olympics attractions. Filled with shops, hotels and local diners, Saranac Lake is considered one of the most idyllic villages in upstate New York.
Whiteface Mountain (Lake Placid)
With the largest vertical drop on the eastern seaboard (measuring 3,430 feet), 87 trails and 11 ski lifts, Whiteface Mountain is a skier's paradise. But should you decide to visit during the warmer months, don't fret. Whiteface offers plenty of hiking and biking trails, plus several adrenaline-pumping adventures like 4x4 excursions and an airbag free-fall jump activity.
Fort Ticonderoga
Nicknamed the Key to the Continent in the 18th century, Fort Ticonderoga sits on Lake Champlain and once served as a strategic focal point during the Revolutionary War and the French and Indian War. After a careful restoration project in the 20th century, Fort Ticonderoga was reopened as a living museum, featuring everything from barracks and kitchens to cannons and an immaculately maintained garden
The Wild Center—a natural history museum that draws you into the vast beauty of Adirondack Park through interactive exhibits and hands-on learning. Check out the museum's Wild Walk Treetop Trail where a trail of bridges takes you into the forest treetop as well as animal exhibits and films that bring a new perspective to nature.
High Falls Gorge—Beautiful waterfalls are that much closer at High Falls Gorge where kid-friendly trails bring you to four waterfalls on a 22-acre nature preserve. Providing safe, easy access for visitors of all ages, this park is perfect for scenic walks, picnics, and views of the Ausable River as it cascades over granite cliffs and into the ancient gorge. Have a casual lunch onsite at the River View Cafe.
The Adirondack Coast

Wrapping along the shores of Lake Champlain, the Adirondack Coast is New York's eastern treasure, home to geologic wonders, waterfront retreats, and civil history. Head to Plattsburgh City Beach, one of the largest freshwater beaches in America, for sandy shores, kayaking, and sweeping views of Lake Champlain. Crest the waves with your rental canoe or stand-up paddleboard from The Kayak Shack—it's a fun way to get on the lake or enjoy kayak tours with the family.

West Point Visits the Adirondack Carousel....Take Two
Ten recent graduates of the United States Military Academy Preparatory School (USMAPS) now located at West Point, N.Y. recently visited the Adirondack Carousel in Saranac Lake, N.Y. on its second ever day of operation. This video shows them during their second and final ride on the carousel. All ten of these remarkable young men and women have already been accepted to, and will enter the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, N.Y. as cadet candidates in the USMA Class of 2016. The Grand Opening of this newest Adirondack attraction was the previous day. This attraction will give all of the North Country (and beyond) a beautiful two abreast carousel to ride. This beautiful carousel with its hand carved wooden animals (by carvers from across the US), and paintings of local scenes (on the carousel's rounding boards) and local wild flowers (on the carousel's medallions) were all painted by local artists. The carousel is operated by a not-for-profit corporation, and has educational as well as entertainment goals. Many, many volunteers worked long hard hours to bring this ten year plus project to completion. In the future, residents and area visitors, including campers at nearby Fish Creek Ponds, Rollins Ponds, Loon Lake, Long Lake, and Meadowbrook NY State Public Campsites will have a unique child friendly and reasonably priced attraction for sunny and rainy day use in downtown Saranac Lake.
Of particular note was the friendliness and excellent behavior of all the animals on the carousel during the future military leaders visit.
Please note that the carousel is handicapped accessible, and the boat on the carousel allows for securing a wheel chair and its occupant firmly in place during the carousel ride.
Additionally, the carousel's location in the William Morris Park at Depot Street and Bloomingdale Avenue is approximately 600 feet from Saranac Lake's Union Railroad Station, which offers seasonal railroad passenger service from/to Lake Placid, N.Y. on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. So ride the train from/to Lake Placid, and ride the carousel during the Saranac Lake layover.
Lake Placid/Adirondacks New York

The Adirondack Mountains /ædɪˈrɒndæk/ form a massif in northeastern New York, United States. Its boundaries correspond to the boundaries of Adirondack Park. The mountains form a roughly circular dome, about 160 miles (260 km) in diameter and about 1 mile (1,600 m) high. The current relief owes much to glaciation.
The earliest written use of the name, spelled Rontaks, was in 1729 by the French missionary Joseph-François Lafitau. He defined it as tree eaters. In the Mohawk language, Adirondack means 'bark eater'. The word could be used as a slur meaning that someone was incapable of hunting and therefore had to eat bark to survive. The Mohawks had no written language at the time so the Europeans used various phonetic spellings. An English map from 1761 labels it simply Deer Hunting Country and the mountains were named Adirondacks in 1837 by Ebenezer Emmons.
People first arrived in the area following the settlement of the Americas around 10,000 BC. The Algonquian peoples and the Mohawk nation used the Adirondacks for hunting and travel but did not settle. European colonization of the area began with Samuel de Champlain visiting what is now Ticonderoga in 1609, and Jesuit missionary Isaac Jogues visited the region in 1642.[2]
In 1664 the land came under the control of the English when New Netherland was ceded to The Crown. After the American Revolutionary War, the lands passed to the people of New York State. Needing money to discharge war debts, the new government sold nearly all the original public acreage about 7 million acres for pennies an acre. Lumbermen were welcomed to the interior, with few restraints,[3] resulting in massive deforestation.
In 1989, part of the Adirondack region was designated by UNESCO as the Champlain-Adirondack Biosphere Reserve.[4]

I know everyone has a busy life but I hope you can take 15 minutes to watch this video. Enjoy what God gave us in nature. Around 9:00 and 12:25 minutes are really enjoyable. To all my friends that moved west and south I hope you don't get home sick. Thanks to our President and Demarcated Senate a lot of Federal Parks are closed.

Adirondack Man on Early Years of Planting Trees in Jay, NY
This video is part of my Borderless North Special Edition series on the life journey of an Adirondack couple and their special connection to High Peaks Hospice. I can never be sure where a story leads me but this one has left a special place in my heart.
The Adirondacks are full of amazing people who look out for each other. It's a privilege to highlight these folks in some small way. My hope is that by telling the story of Norman Briggs I'm able to make a human connection to High Peaks Hospice. The organization is often not thought about until they're needed. Maybe this series will inspire you to keep them in your consciousness and spread the word about the important work they do.
Please feel free to share your hospice experience and/or leave related comments on the web and social media outlets listed below. Healthy dialogue always puts a smile on my face. I'm fortunate to have the avenues to share it.
I want to thank Luella and Norman Briggs for allowing me into their Jay, NY home and sharing their story. I'm honored by the bond and friendship we've formed. I'll be back for donuts soon! As long as Pastor Charlie doesn't eat them all first!
This series is dedicated to my late stepmother Susan Corneau Clement who received care from High Peaks Hospice in her last days. The peace, dignity, and comfort given to her and my family during that trying time will never be forgotten. Thank you.
