For our last full day, we started with breakfast at the Blue Moon, one
of our now traditional dining places.
Then we went to the small but lovely Farmers’ Market where Bennett
hopped onto the bears.
The day was gorgeous, a great day for a boat ride. We boarded a pontoon
boat for a tour of Lake Placid.
Placid is one of the cleanest and deepest lakes in the world.
The lake falls under the Forever Wild designation which means few or no
roads. The shores are lined with luxury, and we mean luxury, “camps”.
Most camps are accessible only by boat. Only a couple of the islands
have roads and, by law, no more can be built. Everything needed to stay
in these must be brought in on a boat.
Middlebrook is the most expensive at $8 million and is used only a
couple of weeks a year.
Older boathouses have a roof top viewing area, a small room or porch or
space for several boats. A revision in the boathouse laws limit the
storage places to two “garages” one story high with no additional rooms
or plumbing.
This is a creative way of complying with the new law.
This was originally built as a music camp for Jewish youth.
The weather combined with great sunlight made this a great ride. We all
enjoyed it though Bennett may have preferred hopping on this bear.
