Shooting For The Moon In Schroon

Photo By Andrew Silver

Andrew Silver captures a rare view of Schroon Lake from the top of Mt. Severance. The photo was taken in late July  -- at the end of Andrew's month long stay here at Terra Alta -- when he and two buds, Larry Chasnoff and Eric Rosenbaum, took a midnight hike up the mountain to capture the moon rise. Unfortunately, it was a little cloudy that night, Andrew told us, but we think his hand held shots are amazing.

Life in the Adirondacks

A classic Adirondack Life Magazine cover from 2009, featuring a classic view 

One of our favorite reads each month is Adirondack Life magazine. As our readers may recall, Schroon got a massive plug in this month’s issue, when it devoted a 9 page spread to our slice of paradise. Now the editors are seeking reader (and even non-reader) input as to what should be in the magazine. Got a few minutes to spare? Take their quick survey here.

And A Good Wednesday Morning, To You Too!

Meet one of the 40 or so American Bison  -- aka buffalo as they are commonly referred to  -- who call the Adirondack Buffalo Company home.  If you have never had a bison burger, you are missing out. Check out the farm in North Hudson  – from their visitor’s viewing deck --  and get ready to grill some great bison, available at their store.

Getting there: Take I-87 North to Exit 29 (North Hudson/Newcomb Exit) or Route 9 North of Schroon, take a left onto Blue Ridge Road and go for 3 ¾  miles (about 6 km).
