Lake Chateaugay - 5/24/14

A friend rented a camp in the Adirondack's on Lake Chateaugay. A relaxing couple of days. Some kayaking, short walks, and light exploring. A good start to the summer including swimming in the lake which was probably about 50 degrees.
The camp was large with large decks. No electricity. Everything ran on gas including the lights which had mantels like Colman lanterns. The lake is in northern NY near Lyon mountain. The area used to have a lot of iron mines. The main occupation these days seems to be prisons. A lot of woods and open land to walk around on.
