Today’s our Fortieth Anniversary! And we are enjoying a fabulous celebration. We woke up in Adirondack Park in a room with a view of beautiful Lake Piseco. First order of business was to travel into Speculator for our annual Steak & Eggs breakfast at the Sunrise Diner. Then north toward Blue Mountain Lake with a stop at the Lewey Lake Campground. We’re inspired to plan another trip with kayaks. On to the Adirondack Museum. It’s billed as Adirondack BIG. And it is too big for just one visit. We must return. On the way back to Point Comfort we got ice cream in Lake Pleasant. Back at the campground we lingered through sunset until after dark enjoying the play of light on the water. To commemorate this day we treated ourselves to a painting that looks like this lakeshore!
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
