Lake Adventures.. Chris and Chris' Excellent Adventure
My Trip to lake George. I am currently on the trip still and will be at the lake till the 26th of July. The following will be highlights from the trip and the blow by blow of each day.
Day 1.
The trip to Lake George took 4.5 hours from New Egypt NJ. I
drove with Chris. He is a very bad driver. He thinks only of himself on the
road. He gets road rage very easily. It was annoying, but I lived through it.
Driving with him was an experience, to say the least.
My own account upon entering into the town of Chester New
York:
Just made it to Loon Lake today (Monday the 23, July 2012.
It is a part of New York State. The
place we are staying at is owned by my friends Dad. It is very nice. It overlooks the lake and has three stories.
There is a yard with a fire pit and a dock for their boats as well. Overall,
it’s a nice place to crash for the week.
Although, I doubt I will be spending a lot of time in the house. There
are many things to do outdoors on our trip. I plan on taking the opportunity to
check out the surrounding areas: Mountains, lakes, caves, attractions, boating,
fishing, and a drive in Movie Theater. I
hope it doesn’t rain. Rain would take away from the adventure.
FYI: Just stopped
writing to drink the Kraken with Chris. Chris 0, Kraken 1. Needless to say he got owned. Chris will attempt to take the Kraken on
again tomorrow, or later today. His
account will be recorded.
Day 1 part 2: Today we woke up around 9:30 am and ate
omelets. We got showered and headed outside to go to the caves. The caves were
nice and very scenic. We checked out several locations on the cave trails. Once
we were done with the caves we headed back to the lake house. We decided to
drink something and head out to the jet skis. Chris and I went on one Jet Ski
and it stalled out, Deana and Darian went on the other and it was dead. Long
story short, we ended up on the fishing boat. We took it out to swim in the
lake. The best moment of the swim was when me and Chris, un-knowingly to Deana
and Darian, Jumped off the boat into the water while the boat was still in
drive. Darian’s face was priceless. He looked around like a deer in the head
lights. After about a minute or two, Darian figures out how to stop the
boat. Chris and I laughed so hard. The
second great moment was when I knee boarded for the first time. Chris’ dad took
us all out on the speed boat. When on the speed boat I tried 3 times and
couldn’t get the feel for the balance. When Knee boarding you start by laying
across the board and have to bring your body up so you are on your knees, all
this while the boat is pulling you. It was tricky to get good balance, but
after the 3rd attempt I got the hang of it and had a great ride.
Tomorrow we are going tubing. It’s something I am looking forward to, for
sure. Kayaking, the mountain hike, and
fishing are on the agenda for tomorrow as well. Right now it’s rainy, that’s
why we stopped with the boating activities for the time being. We will eat
later and head to the movies to see The Dark knight Rises. It’s still up in the
air though. We might end up chilling at the house and having a bonfire instead.
We have a lot of good stuff to drink. It’s going to be a great night regardless
because I am not at work and I’m off for the next 5 days.
Day 1 ended with a bonfire and some board games due to crappy weather, but all in all a great night.
