Anyone going to Americade? 12 Months ago  
I have never been. I am wondering how it is. I know it is beautiful riding up by Lake George. I haven't heard much about it this year and it is next week already!

I went 2 years ago and wasn't impressed.
If you want to have a good time, ride up to Lake George and then keep going north on 9.
It's a lot nicer riding the Adirondacks then sitting in traffic in Lake George any day.

Re:Anyone going to Americade? 12 Months ago  
Just a word of caution when heading out on a ride around Lake George. There has been some heavy flooding and several washed out roads in the counties around the lake. I just thought I would put the word out in case you run across closed roads or high water. http://www.cbs6albany.com/news/whitehall-1285504-assistance-flooding.html , http://www.cbs6albany.com/news/emergency-1285439-warren-county.html I'm heading up to the Americade myself. Ride safe!

Re:Anyone going to Americade? 12 Months ago  
I want to go, but every thing's booked full within 60 miles of Lake George (or so says the hotel search).

Anybody have better information?
I'm driving up to Walden N.Y. to ride with a buddy for a bit.
We've been talking about Americade but it would be nice to have a place to relax and sleep.

Rather not get 'Raped' by an Inn Keeper either

Try looking in the Albany/Latham area. It's only 50 miles south of Lake George, but I seriously doubt there aren't any rooms around.

Glad I could help
If you want some more company let me know. I don't know if I'd want to stick around Lake George, but any excuse to ride up to the 'rondacks works for me

Whispering Pines cottages 518-654-2123 It's about a 15 minute ride to the main drag. Nice ride no high way. Rustic but clean. It's right on the Hudson River.

Helena Hala runs the place. Tell her Eric Cole sent ya. You might get a deal. Or not. LOL.
