The day after our drive into Canada, we took a full day to explore the area around Malone, NY...........part of which, was a drive into the Adirondack Mountains. We drove south to Lake Placid, home of the 1980 Winter olympics. Unfortunately, no photos were taken there, but several ones were snapped while stopped at the Adirondack Park Visitors Interpretive Center along the way. A truly beautiful area!
I took this photo as I walked from the parking lot..........
Closer to the Center..........
And closer. The Center is HUGE! Not only is it a Tourist Information Center, but it also has rooms for classes, etc.
This is the deck off of the main interior public area...........
My "poser" in a "Adirondack Chair".

As we drove back to Malone, we drove into a rain. A few sprinkles that turned into a WHOPPER of a thunderstorm! It rained so hard that our visibility became zero, forcing us to pull to the side of the road and stop! That was bad enough, but then it started to hail as well! When the worst passed and we were once again able to begin driving, the landscape looked like late Winter with drifts of hail against buildings, etc. Mother nature, once again, had shown us that she has a mind of her own. ;)
We thought our little storm was bad, but when we drove west out of town the following morning on our way to Palmyra, NY, we saw storm damage for quite a few miles. Many trees were blown over or large limbs broken, but thankfully, no "major" damages to buildings that we saw.
Tomorrow.......our last "full" day in New York State.

What??? No pictures of the hail???
Did you specifically ask Don to wear orange and blue. Spectacular combination against all the green. I love it!
