Along the way, we discuss road signs that are a bit lost, a Westport chair that gained global fame, and a stream named after an abandoned pair of BVDs. (If that's not quintessentially Adirondack, we don’t know what is.)
It’s a journey of curiosity, quirkiness, and pure fun. It’s an opportunity to venture into the Adirondacks the way we love doing it: following your questions, taking the occasional detour, and reveling in the myriad stories hidden within these 6 million acres.
