Decided to head to Lake George to check out Prospect Mountain. We have been to Lake George several times and just discovered this park. There is a 5.5 mile highway with three overlooks on the way to the summit
Stairway to Heaven
A cable wheel from the old railway. The railway construction began in January 1895 and cost $120,000 and was finished six months later. After failing financially it ceased operation in 1903 and was bought and donated to New York State
Fall decorations at Saratoga Spa State Park. This is just part of the display. I took some pictures with my iPhone and then when I went to take some with my Nikon I realized I left the battery home charging. All is not lost. Ordered battery and charger from Amazon and it will be delivered tomorrow
Then we headed to Saratoga National Historical Park. This time the 10 mile drive around tbe park was open
Spotted some red leaves
Nelson House was bait around 1775. In 1777, a British army was invading southward from Canada into New York and the route would take them through the Neilson’s backyard. John took his wife and their possessions to the safety of her parents home in Stillwater and exchange his home for a tent, serving with his local militia regiment. Park Rangers were working on the front of the house so had to settle for another view. This restored home looks much as it did when Generals Arnold and Poor used it for quarters in 1777
Do you see a bunny with big ears?
Spotted the silo from a distance and was hoping for a red barn but when I got closer was disappointed to see it was not red but it’s still a pretty picture
On the way back to hotel discovered the Caldwell Cemetery alongside the road. Some of the markers date back to late 1800s and early 1900s
Long day. We left home at 9:30 to go to Apple Store in Annapolis. Then headed to Saratoga Springs. Lots of construction and traffic and the rest stops were packed. We have never seen it this busy with exception of Thanksgiving and Christmas. We finally got to hotel at 6 pm
Heading north on the Thruway. Finally got thru traffic
Lobby of hotel decorated for Halloween

I usually take sunset pictures but when I opened the shades in office this morning I noticed the colors in sky so decided to go and see what the view was like from Kent Manor Road
