My Town Monday: the Road Most Traveled
This week’s My Town Monday post is on the road most traveled—–you know, the one that is paved with good intentions.
I had intended to write about our trip to beautiful Blue Mountain Lake, NY, where we visited the Adirondack Museum, climbed mountains, and played in the clear water of the lake. We met some wonderful people and went to a talent show at Prospect Point Cottages. Ice cream played an important part of our week, and we dutifully tasted a wide variety of flavors and brands. When I was looking for links to post, I came across the Blue Mountain Center, a working community of writers, artists, activists and musicians. Take a look at their website—interesting food for thought.

Then, LIFE HAPPENED: we had an out of town guest, my niece got married on Saturday (it was beautiful), I had to work at the 4-H Dog Agility Show on Sunday evening.
I will plan on posting photos and more stories from our trip next week. Scroll down to my last post here, add a comment and you could win a Little Blue Santa.

Blue Mountain Lake is quite beautiful. My wife’s family is from the southern part of the Adirondacks and we love to go visit, especially in the summer.

Blue Mountain Center sounds like my kind of place.

I have traveled more this summer than I have in 20 years, Mary.
We have been very busy, Reb.
Eryl, my daughter used to be a 4-H member. Although she dropped it this summer (not enough time), I fulfilled my commitment to the committee.
Thanks for stopping by, David. Blue Mountain Lake is indeed beautiful. This was the first time we have been there.
I thought that Blue Mountain Center sounded cool, too, Travis. And the fishing in the lake is probably pretty good as well.
