Today I had the pleasure of showing Sonja Stark of Pilot Girl Productions around the area. We had a great day, checking out otter and mink tracks on the West Branch of the Ausable River, hiking to Owen Pond, and going into High Falls Gorge. After a bite to eat we looped back via the East Branch of the Ausable and caught up with a few ice climbers on Pitchoff and still had time to ski at Cascade Ski Center before dark. She caught a few quick frames of dog-sledding on the lake as we pulled back to the Mirror Lake Inn where Sony and her mom are staying. They were headed for dinner at the Cascade Inn, then a go around the Oval and a quick toboggan ride before bed. Their own perfect day, very much inside the map. Read more about it on Sony’s blog.
Thanks to Carol Treadwell of the Ausable River Association and Sue Cameron and Kim Reilly at the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism/Lake Placid CVB for connecting me.
