Had a little shower earlier this afternoon.
Spent our time today at the the Wild Center.

The Wild Center just opened the new Wild Walk on July 4th this year -- a walk in the tree tops.
With many placards describing the wild life and plants around the area, they also had one huge man-made tree stump with a number of exhibits in the hollow center.
At the point of one of the set of supports were a couple hanging seats.
Replica of a 10 foot Bald Eagle nest found someplace - to be the largest ever found.
Top of this tree has unusually large amount of Pine Cones in it -- referred to by the sign above.
We walked a mile trail down to the Racquet River where they had two different overlook areas of an oxbow in the river.
On the trail down to the river.
They had a huge inside display, many of them set up for kids to interact with.
An otter seemed to enjoy entertaining the people with his swimming, diving and swooping near the glass.
In a different tank, I think this is a rainbow trout.
A large moose.
Of course, there was a gift shop where you could buy lots of books, clothing, and these odd characters...................................................
We drove a few miles east and stopped at a roadside bar and grill for lunch, then continued on toward Lake Placid where the Winter Olympics of 1932 and 1980 were held. Click Here for Lake Placid site.
if you wish to look at them.
There are way too many to bring here. Have tried to describe most of them.
Was threat of rain this morning, but only showered a little late this afternoon. Tomorrow is forecast for some rain. We will probably not drive too far tomorrow (80 miles today in a lot of mountains - up and down a little over 1000 feet in all the driving). Maybe go swimming in the pond here - they have a big beach which was really busy Sunday when we came in, but most of the families have left now.
Later, Lynn
