I went camping there too many times.

beautiful area. :thumbsup:

Agreed. My grandmother lives in Jay, NY, and late grandfather would ski Mt. Iceface....err....Whiteface every season. I love that area.

Jay is close to Lake Placid, and its Olympic Village.

Yeah, I used to camp near and around Mt. Marcy and Marcy Dam, which are not far from Lake Placid.

So I took her to New Jersey

Are you sure you didn't find her in New Jersey ?

I watched the Lake Placid movie with the alligators or crocs, whichever the two, and so it's true they've got monsters in these waters?

So if you go swimmin' or somethin' you're going to get a good bite?

Lack of what now? The North-East is full of trees, lots of em. If you head towards the Great Lakes though, it does get kind of scummy. But North and East of the Albany area, up through Maine is very nice.

excuse me? the great lakes? that is totally not true. Lake Superior is beautiful.

lake erie is one of the great lakes.

and the detroit river is part of the system.

and? Just because it has the name "Detroit" in it makes it dirty, right?

Come here, walk along the riverfront on the Windsor side and tell me how dirty it is. Or take a drive through southern Essex county along the Lake Erie shoreline and tell me how scummy it is.

You see, I wouldn't comment on Texas, because I've never been there...

Yeah, I've been to Buffalo though, and it's a craphole. I've been to Watertown, and it's pretty rundown. Niagara isn't even that nice, except for the falls. You go back to the Eastern part of the state and it's much nicer, even though stuff is very spread out.

what gives?

Forty years ago the North East, ie Pittsburg, was heavily industrialized and was very dirty. The factories are closed now and the NE is getting cleaner.

Yeah, I've only been in the pittburg airport...I never thought the inside of an airport could look polluted, but some how it did.

Who says this? I don't think I've ever heard people say that around here (Charlotte, NC) or anywhere I've been for that matter. Hell, I absolutely love Maine. Went there when I was about 14, and I thought it was beautiful.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I'm not sure exactly what "dirty" is referring to here, but I've lived in the UP my whole life and it's fsckin beautiful up here.

damn yoopers.


my mom and her husband are building a house on the south shore of lake huron. lots of trees there, so many they had to thin them out to walk to their beach comfortably. im from arizona, trees make me nervous if they are closer together than 20 or 30 feet.

Trees turn CO2 and water into plant material and oxygen. More trees = less CO2.
