Summer Road Trip: Day 5 Visiting with Janet and David 8'13

 The next day Janet and David jointly gave us a guided tour of the area.


 First stop was the historical site of Johns Brown Farm.  Yes thet THE John Brown of John's Brown's Ferry Fame.  The National Parks Service has preserved his Adirondack farm/ homestead and burial place as a National Historic site, complete with informational placards and park rangers.
Continuing on, we visited the Lake Placid Winter Olympic facilities
and had lunch at a beautiful restaurant overlooking  Lake Placid.
 Janet and I especially enjoyed touring the gardens at a local resort which were at the peak of summer perfection

 The guys preferred the Lake Placid County Club with its beautifully manicured greens and magnificent vistas.
On the way home we stopped  for dinner at the Asuable Inn in Keene NY which is a B&B that Janet and David used to own

It's a welcoming place both outside and in
and in

and definitely has some of the best fare in the Adirondacks .
