Default Adirondack Mountains

We bought our first Harley in 2012. A 2007 Ultra Classic with 10,000 miles on it. One of my wife's hobbies is photography. She likes to shoot pics going down the road while on the queen's perch. We were headed toward Blue Mountain Lake, I was doing about 70 when she took this shot. I saw it when we got home, and as a whim, submitted to Motorcycle Bagger Magazine. Editor emailed me about a week later and said it would be in January's issue, it was May. So, I thought he was blowing smoke up my *** when I received a call from a friend who subscribes to the magazine. He's said brother, they put your wife's picture in the mag. My wife was stoked. Pic of bike we were on just because.

I spent most of my childhood going to Harris Lake for 2 weeks every year and miss that country a lot! I hope to get back and see how things have changed in almost 40 years. Gorgeous area and would love to ride it before my days are done.

I have been on it many times. The Park has no bad roads, some are just better than others.
