There is room for one single woman on the Lake George Getaway:   Friday afternoon September 6 – Sunday, September 8, 2024.
Once again, let’s hope for nice weather! It again promises to be. a great event with some fun activities planned and great dining choices. We will be staying in the lakeside hamlet of Bolton Landing, located 8.5 miles north of the Village of Lake George on the western shoreline. Enjoy the midSeptember weather with evenings that can be cool, but the days are almost always warm (sometimes after a chilly morning). There is a facility for storing your bike indoors at the hotel. While this is a cycling weekend, there are lots of off the bike activities to suit most tastes including hiking, boating, horseback riding, zip line adventures as well as tourist entertainment like sight-seeing cruises, museums and shopping. Everyone will enjoy just sitting on the dock with a drink in hand looking at the view.

Contact Jan Gorban, jgorban@gmail.com if you are interested in rooming with her at the Northward Ho and further details.

Hurry, the getaway is next week.

In addition to Kosciusko Rd, I was told that 42nd street will also be chip sealed this week.  To get around this chip sealing you may have to use 523. Manny  

It has been brought to my attention that Kosciusko Road in Whitehouse is getting chip sealed today.  I recommend waiting a few days for the road to settle. 42st is a good detour.

It was reported to me that there is flooding in the Great Swamp area as indicated below:

1. The gravel road connecting Whitebridge and Lord Stirling road is closed due to flooding. Long Hill has blocked off the bridge at the intersection with Carlton.
2. Long Hill road is flooded but open at the first bridge going from Whitebridge to Pleasantville Rd. Cars were using only one lane to get thru and then very slowly. I saw one car turn around.  I have no info about the condition from there to Pleasantville Rd.
3. Pleasant Plains was flooded but passable between Whitebridge and the small bridge.

In addition to bike rides, paddleboat races, swimming and food, Len Friedman will be leading a 4 mile hike in Lewis Morris Park starting from Sunrise Lake.  Be sure to sign up on the Ride Schedule if you want to hike.
