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.
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
With an upcoming comedy show on April 23rd at Witherbee's, it got us in the mood for some upstate humor. So courtesy of Jeff Foxworthy, here is his take on life in Upstate New York:
"You might live in upstate New York if..."
"If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Upstate New York."
"If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights a year because Saranac Lake is the coldest spot in the nation, and Syracuse gets more snow than any other major city in the US, you might live in Upstate NY."
"If your local ice cream stand is closed from October through May, you might live in Upstate New York." (NOT APPLICABLE TO SCHROON -- THANK YOU STEWART'S!!!)
"If you get 131 inches of snow in a week and you comment that 'winter's finally here', you might live near Oswego in Upstate New York."
"If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year, you might live, bundled up, in Upstate New York."
"If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in Upstate NY."
"If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in Upstate New York."
"If you have worn shorts and a parka on the same day, you might live in Upstate New York."
"If you have had a lengthy phone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Upstate New York."
