Fish Creek Pond

Stop #4 on our eastern adventure: Fish Creek Pond near Saranac Lake, NY. This area is in the northwestern region of the Adirondack Forest Preserve, 2.5 million acres of state wilderness. We have a wonderful remote campsite on the edge of the lake. This is a test to see how well we do "boondocking" - staying a week with no sewer, water or electricity! We can run the generator certain times of the day and our phones and Internet work so we are not totally out of touch with the world but this is definitely the place to "get away from it all." Plan to ride our bikes, play golf and check out Lake Placid area. We drove through country that reminds us of northern Michigan - heavily forested, with white birch and fir trees; and sparsely populated. The roads wind through hills and valleys. Heather says "I'm more comfortable on a major 6 lane highway than I am on these "S" curves where you can't see ahead!" We stopped at an IGA store in Tupper Lake to get a few groceries and the carry out boy told us it snowed last week! We expected jeans and sweatshirts but not SNOW!!!
We talked with Heather and family on SKYPE. They arrived safely and are staying in a "service apartment" until their house is ready - nice place with 3 bedrooms. The girls were "angels" on the flight over and they are all adjusting to the time change.
