Visit the Adirondacks
From the Adirondack Park Agency website (www.apa.state.ny.us):
"The Adirondack Park was created in 1892 by the State of New York amid concerns for the water and timber resources of the region. Today the Park is the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States, greater in size than Yellowstone, Everglades, Glacier, and Grand Canyon National Park combined. The boundary of the Park encompasses approximately 6 million acres, nearly half of which belongs to all the people of New York State and is constitutionally protected to remain “forever wild” forest preserve. The remaining half of the Park is private land which includes settlements, farms, timber lands, businesses, homes, and camps."
ADIRONDACK POEM
It's winter in the Adirondacks
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At thirty-five below.
Oh, how I love the Adirondacks
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter air
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave the Adirondacks
Cause I'm frozen to the ground.
