Military Choppers Buzz Schroon

/

Sunday could potentially have been the nicest, sunniest, winter's day Schroon Lake has seen for a while. On the ice yesterday, as we hiked over to the beach at the Word of Life Island -- from our launching piont just south of Witherbee's Carriage House -- we saw ice fishermen, cross country skiers, snowmobilers, ATV riders, dog walkers and others out enjoying a walk in the warm sun.

And in the sky over our heads, at around 12.15pm, we snapped the above photo of three military helicopters, flying from the north to the south, straight down the middle of the lake.

Walkin' The Dogs

/

Who says taking the dogs for a walk has to be the same old, same old? Well, if you you are Julie Sawyers then it's just like skating on ice -- literally. Julie recently sent us this pic showing her and her dogs Gracie, Lily, Katie, and wrote us this note:


"Katie is a guest and they are all labs. No, their feet didn't freeze. The ice in Rockefeller Center couldn't have been smoother. The cool thing is that I could hear the lake rumbling under my feet and the ice was moaning and popping. The lake is alive in the dead of winter and in the dead of night!"
