I am a fan of two-wheeled … [Read more...] about Motorcycling the Adirondack Coast (Lake Champlain Region)

      West Champlain Hills: Our Bountiful Home

      April 29, 2016 By John Davis Leave a Comment

      Westport Woods Scene

      Most of us who live in New York’s Adirondack Park are here because it is a beautiful, relatively wild and natural place.  Winters are hard to endure (and getting harder, from some vantage points, as they become more erratic and less consistently cold) and jobs hard to find (and … [Read more...] about West Champlain Hills: Our Bountiful Home

      Serpentine Splendors: Snakes of Split Rock Wildway

      June 19, 2014 By John Davis Leave a Comment

      Stransky Rattlesnake (Photo: George Davis)
