Northern Adirondacks – Early Fall Foliage
August 27th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Adirondack Life
No shortage of inquiries about Adirondack Fall foliage lately. Here’s another list like last year’s, this time with inexpensive and family-friendly places worth visiting in the Northern Adirondacks. Read the rest of this entry »
Last night hit 34 degrees in Saranac Lake and we still have days to go in August. Most people aren’t into “foliage-mode” until October, but here in the Northern Adirondacks things happen early. This means we get leaf change as early as mid-September. For sure at the higher elevations.

Doing the 46, During the 46-46-46
April 22nd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Destination Marketing
So I get this Tweet today:
Elevate Your Rate w/the 46 Adirondacks High Peaks: Starting 2day we’ will match R rates 2 the elevations for 46 Days http://yttwt.com/32wqq
I’m thinking that someone could theoretically climb the 46 relevant daily peaks during this special. Not only that, you could easily also add 46 Pints and 46 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
So really, it should be “Doing the 46-46-46, During the 46-46-46.

Lodge v. Inn – Close Battle Mirror Lake Wins
January 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Destination Marketing
I know all you jet-setting leisure travelers have been waiting all year for The List to come out – well, here it is:
T+L 500 World’s Best Hotel 2009
Lake Placid - View from the Lake Placid Lodge
These sorts of places, even if they were within my meager budget, would not be my choice for a travel experience. But that’s just me. I have no idea how these were chosen or if the voting is Carter-approved, but I’d be willing to bet a shoe-shine and valet-parking that most any “willing” hotel could make this gargantuan list.
Maybe I’m just being cynical.
In any case, two of our local standouts have made the list. The Mirror Lake Inn and the Lake Placid Lodge both get a mention. The Inn beat the Lodge by just shy of one point. Clearly MLI’s superior PR tactics gave them the extra edge in beating what I would say is the nicest place within the Blue Line. One thing for sure, I’ll take an 84 in Lake Placid over a 95 in India any day.

Lake Placid on WordPress
June 11th, 2008 · 4 Comments · Destination Marketing
OK, I’m kinda sorta excited in a ho-hum “land n’ leave” sort of way. Looks like my pals at the Lake Placid/Essex County Convention and Visitors Bureau have decided to take off their Blogger/Blogspot training-wheels and get on a machine with real CMS power. Excellent move, but….
- Why announce if you’re not ready? The default Meta and Blogroll items on the sidebar? Gone.
- The About page. Gads, just delete it or hide it. Deleted.
This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from. You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.
- Something about that “Search” bar continues to scream Splog!
- Pretty Permalinks please.
- 2.3.3 lacks tagging.
- Question: Who’s doing this? In-house? Agency? The photographer guy?
- Somebody probably told them that they were overloading the meta tags before, now there are none.
- Whoever cares about SEO should call me.
