More Lake Placid

Sunday morning Jim, my father, and Lilly attended church that just so happened to be less than a mile from our hotel in Lake Placid.

Oddly enough it was also located next to the grave of John Brown.

Having visited Harper's Ferry many times and having learned much about John Brown in my youth, this was quite the coincidence.    

We had planned to visit the Olympic museums and the ice rink made famous by the 1980 Olympic hockey team, but that didn't happen.  Our weekend didn't go as planned, so we will have to visit those places another time.  I was very impressed with the massive ski jump that can be seen from the highway towering over the trees.  I can't imagine skiing off of that ramp.

This concludes my Lake Placid update.
