Mary Ann and I drove into the heart of The Adirondacks yesterday where we took Mike and Erik on vacation, at times, over 30 years ago. A stop was made at Forked Lake, Buttermilk Falls and Long Lake with lunch at the Adirondack Hotel in Long Lake. Mary Ann's connection to Long Lake, besides the fact that we love the place, is that Mary Ann's 2nd Great Grand Aunt Zobeda Sarah (Hough) and her husband were the first people to settle on the western shore of Long Lake in the 1830's.
