...yes, indeed..... was born and raised not far from Lake George....even in the summer the water was cold as ice...we really could not enjoy swimming in it for the cold...the winters up in that part of New York were really harsh...at least in the 1950s when we lived up there...summers were beautiful; winters were miserable...
...and the paddle doesn't have all of his contacts, his photos, his credit cards, his passwords, his Words with Friends, and everything else that makes up his life on it!
Well, next time there might not be a tiki boat around. I guess he can cuddle up with his water logged phone in his kayak for the night.
I won’t even go out on the water unless I see a Tiki bar full of priests on the lake! :)
My thoughts exactly.
My thoughts exactly.
My dad’s family is from the Hudson Falls/Glens Falls area.
I spent a few summers at Lake George as a kid in the ‘60’s.
You are right about the water always being cold.
Canoeing was fun unless you turned it over.
“Was the cell phone ok? That’s what is important to know.”
LOL! $1,400.00 for a PHONE? My first CAR was $1,700.00!
Such silly creatures, we Humans!
“I won’t even go out on the water unless I see a Tiki bar full of priests on the lake! :)”
Excellent advise whether on Land or Sea! ;)
LOL!!
I guess you don’t go out on the lake very often?
What are the odds???
Glad they were in this guy’s favor.
Great story :-)
Great story. Reaffirmation of Faith can be seen
anywhere by anyone! What a wonderful world we’ve
been given.
Thank you for a bright beginning to this Sunday
morning.
When I would take the kids to an amusement park, with rides you can get wet in, I always took a few small ziploc bags to put my phone, car keys, and wallet into.
Summer nights in the Adirondacks are cool even after a hot day; beautiful country up there, but more to visit than live year-round. The area near Woodstock was nice for backpacking.
