We hated to leave the peaceful, country campground near Ithaca, where we stayed longer than we planned.  So we hit the road to Lake Placid, NY, home of two past winter olympics.  We took the scenic route, after checking it out on Google Earth to make sure it was ok for our rig.  The only bad part was weaving through downtown Lake Placid, a touristy town with lot's of traffic and a narrow streets.  (Sort of reminds you of Gatlinburg, TN.)   We arrived at the North Pole Campground, which was another great place with big, spacious, wooded campsites at 4 pm.   As "cruise director", a nickname I received from Tom Martin, I felt a little stress, wishing to always find  the best spots to stay and see.  I had succeeded again..yea!   We ended up staying five nights, there was so much to do and we liked it so well.  After we set up, we drove went to see the Ausable River that runs by the campground.  During dinner a crown fell out, so we hoped to find a dentist on Monday.
