Of the village, Is very attractive ana 5
about tire most reasonable in prices OF
Adirondack resorts, will be reachaoie III
about five hours from Saratoga in r
high speed car over magnificent
boulevard. This road stretches now
from Albany TO Long Lake by sara
toga. Lake George and North Creek,
and gives New Workers the quickest
access 10 the real wild part OF the
woods.
A slow but not too bad twelve miles
OF road from Long Lake through Harry
Payne Whitney's preserve takes one
from Long Lake to busy automobile
ferry across Raequette Lake-where
there are no roads whence one can
drive comfortably TO the Fulton Chain:
Ii is a quicker and pleasanter way OF
reaching Fourth Lake than the main
travelled route by way OF Utica. ne
ferry, captained by an old Brooklyn
man, runs regularly twice a day ana
will make special trip.
II one wants 10 10 a little mountain
climbing one can 90 II here by maklng
tho eight miles UP and down-about
four on the level-from Long Lake TO
PIue Mountain Lake. A view from 9
hotel there can't be beat in Switzerland
This is all inside tTo-days' easy run
ming from New York, and can be made
in a dav and half. Elevation at Ions
Lake is ] 500 feet.
Going back 70 Lake Placid, the seeker
after scenery makes his way out by the
dirt road past the cute Cascade Lakes
This route gives a splendid vista down
Keene Valley and seven-mlle coast
into fashionable Eiizabethtown. But
don't try H. the other way until you
know you have the best hill climber IN
tho world under you and freproof
brakes. Even going down one found A
twin six laundering IN mudhole IT
had backed into in an effort to put out
It's blazing brakes. Chains, mud hooks,
two jacks, two horses, another car,
ropes and much advice and shouting
served to pull it out again. 1t looked
like new above, but its particular
owner certainly could never have taken
ioy in its under condition. One won
dcred after IL the very competent
chauffeur and the owner ever patched
up the war that began in that sad mix
up. Some bystanders thought they
would part company then and there.
The southerly headed road from
Elizabethtown takes one down TO Lake
George, past the entrance 20 the fine
Long Lake Boulevard, which one can
shortcut to e coming from the north
at Schroon River or at Pottersyille.
Both of these roads resemble IN con
tour a skyline Of lower Manhattan. At
Lake George motorists should be sure
to take the beautiful tenmlle drive to
Bolton, past some of the best resi-
dcnces on the lake.
There is bad road construction at
Glens Falls, so the Luzerne route be-
tween Lake George and Saratoga is
better. More bad road construction Is
met beyond Schuylerville on the road
from Saratoga into Vermont az Airing
ton. This is partly slate road. partly
sand with sharp wlndings, but IS good
eXcept for the construction. Part of
that can be lodged by going around to
the north by state road down almost to
Cambridge.
Schuyleryille, with Saratoga battle
monument and several historic houses
for attractions, doesn't seem TO care
whether Automobiles visit 1t or not.
Judge by it's streets. But then 1t
can't hold a candle 10 Rensselaer,, that
suburb of Albany that all north and
westbound cars must pass through, but
never stop in. Rensselaer, has very
sersbly possibly decided that it
doesn't need 10 maintain streets for
these cars of passage that never tarry
nor spend a cent in its environs. There,
rs At many other towns. notably Am
-tcrdam and Fonda, IL unpleasant
memories serve, the sign
