We have had an offer from the Mega- Motel Corporation to purchase the Northwood Cabins. Their plan was to keep the sign but expand the "footprint" of the motel itself. ![]()

They provided a drawing of what they planned to do. While impressive we were not sure it would actually fit on the property. ![]()

In the end they had to withdraw the offer due to issues with zoning. Apparently you can only have one "Castle like structure" per town. As the famous Leary Castle sits just behind us no other Castle can be built in Tupper Lake.

Apparently Lord Tennyson never lived in the Adirondacks, because in Spring most everyone's "fancy" lightly turns to thoughts of maple syrup. ![]()

"When sugaring time comes, from the Deer river to Chateaugay from Poke O Moonshine to the Kayaderossrras, men work fast. A few people make sugaring a big business...The average Adirondack farmer who has a few trees knows little of this industry. He looks on them not as a source of profit but for pleasure. As long as he has the strength to carry the sap buckets to the boiler he knows that he will, make enough syrup for his own family, and if the sap runs good he may have a few gallons to give to friends."![]()

My grandfather was most certainly an "average Adirondack farmer" The photo above was his Sugar Shake found on his farm along the Deer River in St Lawrence County. I took that photo over 40 years ago long after the last fire had been lit and the last gallon of sap boiled off. But I remember when he still tapped trees, and boiled sap. I can still taste the sap, cold and sweet as we stole sips from the galvanized buckets that hung off the big maples along the road leading to the farm. ![]()

Now you see mostly plastic tubes and stainless steel holding tanks, but every so often you still catch a glimpse of those old buckets hanging in the woods and you know Spring is near.
