Living On Top Of an Adirondack Missile Silo

Channel 10 is promoting a scary storyThursday at 6pm, about the health dangers of abandoned cold war era missile silos in the Adirondacks. In researching what they might be up to, I stumbled upon what may be the most wild story about a house in the Adirondacks I’ve ever read. It involves a New York film location scout Nick Carr, who found out about a one of a kind house,  built on top of a decommissioned 1960’s missile launch site near Plattsburgh.

The purchaser was a builder, who in 1995 put up a few houses and an airstrip on the property, and was now looking to sell it.

Nick got into the house and photographed what was left of the nine story underground silo. Check out Nick’s story and AMAZING photos here.

Spring Has Sprung

It wouldn’t be spring in Schroon if there was snow in late April. Like yesterday!

And it definitely wouldn't be spring if we weren’t blessed with return of our avian friends from the south, who at this time of the season find solace and food, in and on our very peaceful bodies of water. And we know they are back when nature lover Pat Thorne has her eagle eye focused, and camera at the ready, to capture these glorious creatures.

From Pat today: “This loon (above) caught this perch for breakfast.   Oh, was he happy! Still waters drew this loon (below) in close to shore for a lovely photographic moment in the early morning”.

Thank you Pat, for sharing your beautiful images. If you have pictures or a story to share, send then our way via email, by clicking here. schroonlaker@me.com
