Thank you to Lake George Winery for supplying a wonderful meal to the 3 fire crews providing asset protection last night. The pasta with bolognese source was certainly
a cut above the rat packs on the trucks. Would have loved to have tried the wine but there are certain boundaries we cannot cross. I will definitely be back.
The Hoyts Theatres grove at Lake George North, now the Arthur Gurney VC Rest Area seemed to have survived fairely well due to the wind change. It would be sad to lose it as it is the largest of the original rest areas of the remembrance driveway and is worth a visit.
The Federal Hwy may still have problems and you will need to close your windows.
