What do you remember about 2011? Well already a day has gone by and I’m sure I missed something. So maybe you got to spend a lot of time in Long Lake this year, or maybe you kept in touch via updates and twitter and your friends and relatives. Maybe you drove down Route 30/28N and decided to spontaneously stay for the night and found a Barber Shop Quartet singing on the beach or Martin Sexton signing autographs. Long Lake is small, but makes the most of the seasons and even though we’re off the beaten path and not right off the railroad tracks or the Northway, we still have our fingers on the pulse (from a quiet distance) The video is a timeline with both events in and around Long Lake and Raquette Lake interspersed with some images of notable news figures of the past year. Trivia is so popular an event, one of the upcoming questions may revolve around some of the images in this piece – so watch carefully. What did we miss? I know you’ll be sure to tell me. See you in 2012. Enjoy the show. Moonlighter’s Snowmobile Club Winter Carnival is coming up on January 14, 2012.. THINK SNO What do you remember about 2011?

Near the Long Lake Town Bridge on Route 30, overlooking a widening of the Raquette River, one will discover the Adirondack Hotel with one of the premier locations in the Adirondack North Country with a spectacular view of the high peaks at the far end of the lake.

Famous people who have visited the Adirondack Hotel include Helen Keller, Ann Sullivan, Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger. Albert Einstein put guests up at the hotel. Yankee legend Mickey Mantle stayed there. An unverified local legend contents that Theodore Roosevelt once joined a mysterious woman for breakfast there.
