I'm voting yes. Van Ho should have had an exemption to Article XIV the way WF, Gore, and Belle do, a long time ago. Back in the 2010's I tried to write a story about the Ho's lack of an Article XIV exemption. I can't tell ya how quick people hung up on me or how many emails went unanswered...

Not just the tippy top. Just enough snow to ski the local golf course.

I'm sorry, Camp. May he rest in peace.

Pretty sure I saw the video you're referring to. He prolly could have roller skied up the toll road faster.

Satchel Paige pitched until he was 58 or 59. It's all good.

Very nice! No High Peaks for me until after knee replacement.

Wintery mix changing to snow predicted up here for Saturday. Yesterday, ya could see snow on the western face of Whiteface. Hikers gotta bring microspikes going in to the High Peaks. It won't be long now.

Thank you. There are a couple other videos out there that seem to focus on the yard sales. I'd prefer to avoid those.

Stoke from simpler times: a couple of vintage ski jumping vids from Bear Mountain. I don't mind admitting, I got a little choked up watching this one. In the video below, two-time Olympian Art Tokle, who lived in Rockaway NJ, takes the win. So different back then: they shuffled downhill...

Also, from 1975:

Yep, I went there last March. Good place.

LP pub and brewery is good but it can get awful crowded. If it's too busy, Big Slide (same owners) or Ray Brook Brewhouse.

Scene / seen in Lake Placid: Aston Martin Vantage, complete with manual transmission. For some reason, I don't think this guy is local.

@Harvey just scored a ticket for the Friday morning block with Queen of the Catskills.

Back in the late 1980s in NJ, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection would park trucks with scales along Route 206 so you could weigh your deer. Don't know whether that's still done. A lot more development out there now. Not so easy to hunt.

On the way back from NJ, where I saw my kiddo and played loud rock n roll. Stopped at the Stewart's in Chestertown for gas. Dude in an old Chevy truck. He wore an orange cap, had a mutt that was part pit bull, and a bolt action rifle with a scope in the passenger seat. Hunting season in the...

@Harvey LP Film Festival, Queen of the Catskills is Friday, 31 October, in the block from 9A - 11:30A. As near as I can make out. Restaurants: I don't eat in Lake Placid. Nothing personal, I just don't live there. Ray Brook Brew House on Route 86 in Ray Brook is good. Pub style food and...

I'm in a cure cottage. It even has its own Wikipedia page. Glorying in the space. If you saw the garret that I lived in for 15 months after my wife and I split up, you'd understand.

Dang closet is bigger than my music room. 🎸🪗

In addition to hiking, what else is going on in North Creek in the summer? Golf⛳️, a swimming hole?
