Following the whirlwind of Sara’s wedding, we high-tailed it to one of don’s favorite spots in the world: Big moose lake in the adirondack mountains of upstate new york, WHere every summer since sara was a babe-in-arms he had been visiting an idyllic spot called the waldheim for two weeks in july. even after moving to california he continued to carry on the tradition for his, now, three daughters until about ten years ago. It was a time to reconnect with his daughters, relax on the dock, swim in the cool waters, tramp along sunlight-dappled paths bordered by verdant, dewy ferns, mushy from recent rains, listen to the haunting calls of the loons in the dark of night, and revel in the natural beauty of this remote northern region of the U.S. The history of the adirondacks has been influenced by many powerful forces including: logging, mining, farming, and tourism. during the “gilded age” of the late nineteen century it became the summer playground of the rich and famous such as j.p. Morgan, the vanderbilts and rockefellers who built what became known as the adirondack great camps. time for a celebratory cocktail cruise with old friends, so more to come.
