Day30 John Brown' Grave

Stayed over in Lake Placid- watching the hockey game was neat. We stayed for 2 periods the breaks were almost as long as the playing time. It was a national junior team- USA was ahead 4-0- we saw the zamboni and a fight where the masks and gloves came off as fast as the puck flies and the players zip across the ice.
This morning swept out the car of the dirt of 10 states, then rode 10 miles to Mirror Lake, swam a 1/2.mile along the cable, the water was so smooth, clear and cool. Showered quick and went to church at the Lake Placid branch located on John Brown road. Up the road from the church is the John Brown farm and that is where he is buried. That was the fourth stop we have come too that had to do with the abolition movement and underground railroad. Hopped on the bike and another 57 to Crown Point on Lake Champlain- we are camped by the bridge that will take us into Vermont tomorrow... so..
Time for a camp song... "John Brown's body lies a molding in the grave..."(please continue singing on your own)

  1. you didn't go swimming in Lake Placid I hope. Betty White would advise that you do not. Do you know what movie I'm talking about...?
