Camp Quinn

Sun, Sept 2

Camp Quinn: Really foggy this morning. But cleared to a beautiful day. Left around 10:30. Arrived at Michele & Norman’s around 1:00. Got set up and checked out the new animals. Louie is so cute. And Clohe is also. Taz was glad to see us (I think). We went to the Six's for dinner.

Schroon Lake: Over to Sandy and Dan’s this morning at about 11:00 and they had been waiting for us so we could leave for breakfast. Went to a quite place called Suzie Q’s. A really nice, fairly new log building. We ate out on the deck. Then we drove over to see the gift shop at some cave place and Sandy bought a bracelet. Place is nice but mostly for kids. Dan was going to buy a yearly pass for his grandkids. Then we drove over to some cute little town and had fried dough. The place was called Little Nony’s and was as cute as could be. And the fried dough was the best. Then back to Sandy and Dan’s and we played Spades until about 10:00 and we headed back to the campground. The campground is just across the lake from their place but it was much warmer on our side of the lake last night—for some reason. Read for a while and then to bed. We had a fun two days with them. Tomorrow we leave for Michele and Norman’s.

Schroon Lake: Went to the Adirondack General Store for breakfast this morning. Had a hard time finding our way to the east shore of the lake. Mike finally stopped and asked someone. The general store is cute, has lots of cute stuff in there to buy. It’s more of a gift shop than a store. And the restaurant has only 3 tables. But while you wait you can browse around. Breakfast was okay. After that we drove into The Lodges to see if we could find Sandy and Dan’s place…which we did. Drove into Schroon Lake Village and browsed around and picked up a couple of things at the grocery store. Took that back to the Starship and then we headed over to Sandy and Dan’s. A really nice place. They showed us around and later we went out for dinner to The Place. Good food. Back to their place and played Spades until about midnight and we headed back.

Planned to leave this morning by 10:00 but got talking to some people and didn’t leave until 11:00. Arrived at Eagle Point by 4:00. Not a very good campground. New York State parks are not very good—especially in the Adirondacks. We’ll go commercial if we ever come back here. After getting set up we drove into the little town of Adirondack and then stopped at the Black Bear restaurant in Pottersville for dinner. After that we drove to Schroon Lake village and then back to campground. At least the water faucet is across the road and we can reach with our hose to fill our water tank. Cloudy and rainy most of the way over here. Drove past a couple of beautiful lakes on Rt. 74—Eagle Lake and Paradox Lake. Can’t believe this campground closes after Labor Day weekend.
