Adirondack place names run the gamut from the mundane to the whimsical. This video takes a look at a few examples from both categories. I also delve into a story from my family history.

Thunderstorms with rain put out the fire but they had to bushwhack out in the dark, while it was pouring, with a single balky flashlight. Back in the day that was all in day's work.
