Lake George - Rich & Greg Spring Weekend Travel

Lake George - April 13, 2009

It was a dreary overcast Monday, but I wanted to show Greg a very beautiful part of the Adirondacks he hadn't yet seen close up. We originally intended to hike Tongue Mountain, but the forecast of rain tempered our ambitions and we decided for a scenic drive instead.
