Lake George Trip


"Lake George is without comparison,  the most beautiful water I ever saw; formed by a contour of mountains into a basin...  finely interspersed with islands, its water limpid as crystal,   and the mountain sides covered with rich groves... down to the water-edge: here and there precipices of rock to checker the scene and save it from monotony."

--  Thomas Jefferson, May 31, 1791

What better way to describe Lake George. Me and a few friends from Connecticut went to this very scenic place. Its an hours drive from Albany the capital district of NY state.  Fort William is adjacent to the lake. We never entered the fort as it was a paid guided tour and sure didn't look worth it.
