North Country

There's snow in them thar hills! It may have been a balmy 70 degrees today, but up in the Adirondacks there was still snow and ice.

Schroon Lake was still frozen with just water at the edges.

This is the church in the village of Schroon that burned this winter. We were sure it wouldhave started to rebuild by now. So sad to see.

Eagle Lake was frozen too. I guess we won't be kayaking quite yet!

Once we got down in the valley, Ticonderoga was warmer and Lake George and Lake Champlain had no ice. However, the snow melting and rain made Lake George's water level high, so water was being diverted down the LaChute River to Lake Champlain. The falls were quite dynamic and beautiful.

Our house had no difficulties except for lots of downed branches. We didn't turn on the water or heat yet since we are pretty early into the season. It was a great day to be up there though and a perfect first road trip.
