The Adirondacks Lots of Scenic drives!

October 5, 2015-Monday-  Time to leave Mt. Morris, coffee's ready & we are too!
Come on Otis......we're leaving, there's a new adventure just waiting for us! I will have to admit, that after walking down 832 steps yesterday, muscles I didn't even know I had are sore!!!We really enjoyed our time here, we leave now for the Adirondack Mountain Region where we hope the leaves are alive with color!
                                                                         Here we go!
                                                          The trees are looking good!!!!
                                                               It is sooooooo hilly here!
                                                    Wait.....Are we still in New York!?!
                                                               What a beautiful drive!
                                                                          Lunch Break!!!!!
                                                     The scenery never seems to end!
                                                                                  The Adirondack Mountains coming into view.....
 Oh-Oh, we're stopping for a car wash before going to the Campgrounds! Keep an eye on it Otis!!!

We have arrived at our campgrounds!Plattsburgh RV Park, where else.....Plattsburgh, New York!
                                                                It's a large RV Park,
                                                            checking in at the office.....
The park also has cabins to rent.

It's mostly for seasonal campers. The season ends October 15th. The owner drove Lennie around in a golf cart then told him, "Pick any spot you want!"

                           We chose an end spot, we have the area pretty much to ourselves!!!
 
                                                    Our home for the next few days!!!

October 6, 2015-Tuesday-Our  sightseeing while we're in this area will consist of scenic drives. We've never been in this area of New York before, we've really missed out on a lot!!!





                                                             Someone else being silly!






Do you feel Olympic!?!
                                                      Oh....time for a little lunch break!
Check out the fancy chandeliers!
                                           The town of Lake Placid. I love these old towns....

                                                                Peeking at Lake Placid!
                                                            Another view of the Lake
Lake Placid & the famous.....Adirondack Chairs!


            Didn't we just have lunch? No that was MILES ago! Now it's time for a cupcake!
                                                                    YUUMMMMMM!!!!
                                                                 More of Lake Placid
Living on the lake

                                                                  Playing on the lake!
Where the Olympics practice

                                                         All Hail White Face Mountain!

                                           Now back on the road......all this hidden scenery

                                                             but it can't hide from us!!!



 Oh boy, & these are just part of my pictures not to mention what is stored in my visual memory!!!!
Time to go back to the RV, unfortunately nothing is simmering in the crock pot!!!

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT TOMORROW'S SIGHTS ARE!
October 7, 2015-Wednesday-   We have been lucky with the weather, perfect for checking out the fall foliage!I'm thinking instead of coffee in the morning we should be having hot apple cider to make it feel more fallish! We have no real plans in our sight seeing, we just get in the car & drive! Sooooo, let's see what's next!?!
This might be fun!
Otis wants a pumpkin!

There was a school Field Trip going on today!
Free Rides on the wagon through the apple orchard. Noooooo we didn't go on the wagon ride!
The PERFECT  Halloween pumpkin, cool, yet a little spooky!
                                                                       Have a nice day!!!
Right away the scenery starts! I love it!!
A postcard picture!?!

 
Another one of those cool old towns(yes we had a lunch break here!)
I "FORCED" Otis to ride in the back seat(not for long) & he was insulted but....he's on my lap every mile we drive & every time we stop for a pictures, I have to get him out of the way before I can even get out to snap the picture....& he is a dog!?!
This is a place Lennie found while doing research! It's a laundromat, gift shop, & donut shop!
We were only there for the donuts!!!
Lake Saranac
The clouds are rolling in, maybe we've run out of nice weather???
Too much house to clean!
Even with the cloudy weather, it still scenic.
Even Otis looks like he's enjoying the view!?!
Or maybe he's checking out this lone gull bobbing on the Lake???

Another full day of fall scenery. Heading home to the RV, we better rest up.....tomorrow's another day!
Tonight's sunset
