Happy 4th of July from Northwoods Lodge!

Every summer for as long as I can remember, my family has spent our summers at our lodge in Lake Pleasant, NY. The lodge itself is over 100 years old and it's filled with taxidermy, including an owl dangling from the ceiling with a once innocent squirrel clutched in it's talons. When I was little, I would run past the owl in fear, now it's just creepy. There is also a African spider monkey, I fondly named Marty the Monkey. I know, how did an African spider monkey find his way into an Adirondack lodge!

The few free weekends I have each summer, Pete and I load up the dogs and head to the lodge. We absolutely love the lodge......

So Happy 4th of July!!!!

Make a photographer's day and leave a comment or two.......

The very beautiful Shawna, not so much a dock jumper, but more of a fisherman. That's right, Shawna loves to fish!

Found this site today. As a longtime "tenant" of Northwoods (thru about 1980) and a certified nostalgia addict, this was a real kick for me. I can still remember going out with Mary Kay Ragus with her dad Bill in his boat, from that very same dock. Spent a lot of time at that beach! Thanks for that little blast...
