These two pictures were taken at Lake Placid, NY on our P-day this week. It is about 2-1/2 hours North East of here in the Adirondack mountains. We decided to go up there before the snow starts to fall. It was just a beautiful drive not unlike driving in the Unitas of Utah. The lake at the bottom of town, where Mom is standing is at 1890 feet elevation and the mountains they ski off are about 48oo feet so you can see it is a much smaller version of our olympic venue. The building with me in front is the the hockey stadium where the famous "Miracle of Ice" game took place in the 1980 Olympics. It was kind of fun seeing that part of history. The town has one main street with lots of gift shops and such, much like Park City's main street. It was fun to see, especially with all the history involved. The Adirondacks are a hugh recreation area for the whole East Coast, lots of camps, cabins and tourist stuff. There are lots of lakes and waterways in the area with numerous SMALL towns. We are still managing to stay involved the this mission thing. We are getting used to having more to do than we will be able to complete. Kind of like always being behind. All the past deployed soldiers have returned now and we are gearing up for the new deploying one's. It's kind of interesting that the wards have changed places with most of the new deployed soldiers coming from Carthage now. We will have 17 spouses in the Carthage ward and less than8 in the Watertown ward. We still have a problem in locating the new YSA that come to Post, the lost sheep list is a constant worry for us. The elections have had little impact on Post, the military just keeps doing its job and not saying much. We feel so blessed to be involved in this work. We miss you all, love Mom and Dad
