The Adirondack Museum, Blue Mountain Lake

Untitled

Just got back (pre-Memorial Day 2007) from a trip to the Adirondack Museum. When this place was designed, it was clearly well thought-out. The exhibits are spacious and informative, the grounds are pleasant and easy to get around, and the staff is helpful. The gift shop has a lot of nice items as well. Worth visiting.

MOSTIMPORTANT: if you go — here or, for that matter, any other place in the Adirondacks — apply plenty of bug spray to all exposed skin. When you think you’ve applied enough, apply some more. The black flies are relentless.

Pine Creek Gorge, Tioga County

Untitled

I was here only briefly, a few months back. It was absolutely gorgeous, overlooking the canyon. If you’ve ever seen a turkey vulture in flight, you already know how graceful they are. What was new and interesting about the turkey vultures at Pine Greek Gorge is the fact that I was viewing them from above. I was on the overlook on one of the canyon rims, and I observed (from above) the turkey vultures soaring back and forth. Amazing.

I plan to come back here again, allotting more time (a few days), so I can hike and enjoy the bottom of the canyon.

Kidron, Ohio

my inner Luddite is satisfied; my inner traveler is not

Went to Kidron and to Lehman’s Non-Electric Store on a recent trip through Pennsylvania and Ohio. Anyone who’s driven across Pennsylvania can tell you: it’s a long drive, but it is always scenic. I can’t say the same thing about Ohio. Almost as soon as I crossed the Pennsylvania border into Ohio, and started heading southwest past Akron, the roads got worse and the scenery practically disappeared.

The visit to Lehman’s itself was good. I picked up a number of items I’d been planning to buy, as well as quite a few that were impulse purchases. But Kidron is boooorrrriiinggg, although it was cool seeing an 18-wheeler truck crawling along the road behind an Amish guy in his horse cart.

So, bottom line? Go to Lehman’s to indulge your self-sufficient streak — but then, get out of Kidron (and Ohio) as fast as possible, and get back to some place more interesting.
