Tupper Lake came to the itinerary by way of a suggestion from Jon, one
of Tubby's co-workers who has family hailing from the area. And just as
you or I expected, the town was surrounded by a lake. But not just any
lake -- it was Tupper Lake.
There were three town signs to choose from, but this is the only
one with gold-colored letters.
Movie night? There's not a lot of options, but the offering is a
current feature release, at least.
Holy Name Catholic church... but in a region heavy with churches,
the balance here was perfect.
The Lumberjack Inn, complete with a train and a small town built
onto its roof.
Hooligans found drinking. Regular, chocolate and strawberry milk.
I guess this
program is working.
See? I saved the best for last. It's Tupper Lake, as seen from the
park's gazebo-like building.
Here's a link for you: The Natural
History Museum of the Adirondacks at http://www.adknature.org/ The "Visitor's
Center" is in downtown Tupper Lake, and should have some interesting displays
of what to expect when the museum is completed. There is some really cool
technology going into this. Don't know whether it's "Frank" material, but
thought you might be interested for yourself if you do end up passing through
the area.
