Every summer for as long as I can remember, my family has spent our summers at our lodge in Lake Pleasant, NY. The lodge itself is over 100 years old and it’s filled with taxidermy, including an owl dangling from the ceiling with a once innocent squirrel clutched in it’s talons. When I was little, I would run past the owl in fear, now it’s just creepy. There is also a African spider monkey, I fondly named Marty the Monkey. I know, how did an African spider monkey find his way into an Adirondack lodge!
The few free weekends I have each summer, Pete and I load up the dogs and head to the lodge. We absolutely love the lodge……
So Happy 4th of July!!!!
Make a photographer’s day and leave a comment or two…….
Super Roxy!
A little shake!
This is our family’s lodge, Pete prepares Roxy for take off!
An outtake, the ball fell a little short!
The very beautiful Shawna, not so much a dock jumper, but more of a fisherman. That’s right, Shawna loves to fish!
My cousin Tucker, he totally committed!
His brother Tyler, again total commitment!
Their buddy, Henry!
Cassidy Ann, not much of a swimmer……She sure is cute though!
Notice Cassidy Ann getting ready to nimble on the boy’s ankle…
One more of Tucker, because he looks so care fee!
May 13, 2010 That dock holds many memories too. I dated Mary K Ragus through our college years. Her family spent every summer at Northwoods Lodge, and luckily i spent a few there too. I remember sitting with ethel buyce on that

October 22, 2009 Found this site today. As a longtime "tenant" of Northwoods (thru about 1980) and a certified nostalgia addict, this was a real kick for me. I can still remember going out with Mary Kay Ragus with her dad Bill in his boat, from that very same dock. Spent a lot of time at that beach! Thanks for that little blast…
