And for fans of the group Red Molly, who blew the doors off the Boathouse a couple of years back, there's  a musical connection. Red Molly's Abbie Gardner, who plays the Dobro, was one of the guest artists on Monica's debut album.

Life and Death in the Adirondacks

In May, Venessa ‘Lynn’ Malerba, a former physical education teacher and coach died while camping in the Pharoah Lakes Wilderness near Ticonderoga.

The 60-year-old, who was an experienced Adirondack guide, was camping at Rock Pond, near Putnam Pond Campground when high winds bought down a large tree, pinning her to the ground. The size of the tree and extreme weather conditions, lack of cell service and the darkness of night, severely thwarted rescue efforts.

The Adirondack Almanack has a vivid first hand account by Joe Wagner, a Connecticut-based writer and avid hiker, who describes in moving prose and graphic detail what happened that night, and the potential lessons that can be learned from this tragedy. You can read Joe’s story, by clicking here.
