Bizarre Adirondacks (e-book) (used book) | Larry Weill | bookbook.eu

Description

The Adirondack Park is a huge and diverse region that has earned a special place in the hearts of millions who live and visit its mountains and lakes, vistas and views, and natural and man-made attractions. There are many books that list the major sites, well-trodden trails, and "tourist traps" of the Adirondack region. Bizarre Adirondacks is a guide to everything else: the unusual, historic, strange, often-passed-by and sometimes-haunted destinations that locals only whisper about.

In this fun and fascinating tour of the Adirondacks off-the-beaten-path, author Larry Weill showcases over 100 lesser-known destinations inside and close to The Blue Line, including:

• Haunted Pine Grove Cemetery
• The Burial Plot of the Area's Earliest Double-Agent
• Famous Tales from the State's Oldest Courthouse
• The Ruins of the Old Piseco Tannery
• The Great Adirondack Frying Pan Toss
• The Ghosts of Nine Corner Lake
• Adirondack French Louie's Cave
• The Bloody Pond
• The Spot Where Teddy Roosevelt Became President
• Whitehall's Sasquatch Calling Festival
• The Moss Lake Rebellion of 1975

... and many more. Bursting with photographs and insider tips, Bizarre Adirondacks is the perfect book for first-time Park visitors and lifelong Adirondack residents alike.
