the scenery is breathtaking, the quality is epic, one of the most enjoyed 31 minute I’ve had watch a RU-vid vide . thank you Lea for bringing us along 😍
It looks a bit like the Eastern part of Norway to me, the landscape I mean. Many lakes, woods and rivers. I have very fond memories of Norway. The Jungfrau has such an elevator too. From the train station (it’s in the mountain) you can take the lift to the observatory.
I loved this episode ! Lake Placid & Whiteface in Winter provided me with a great week downhill and also ideal x-c skiing at the Olympic venue, as well as a fist-clenching thrill ride on the Olympic bobsled track. Imagine that view all covered in white, and then the ski down from the top ! Nice to see you baptised into paddling, it's been a love for me over 60 years.
Wow, this video was motorcycle travel wellness for heart and soul! Special features, the atmosphere, sceneries and details brilliantly filmed and narrated makes it very entertainingly educational too! A beautiful highlight like the whole journey🙏🙏🥰☺️!
I hope everyone appreciates how hard you work, in a country that's not your own. You never stop trying at things that are "foreign" to you! btw anywhere out east (the NE coast) has long lines for everything, you have been fortunate. The chairs @ 21:31 are "Adirondack Chairs" I'm sure the people at Elk Lake Lodge shared that with you. My fave of the video was the birds eye view of you in the kayak @ 24:53, YEA! Make sure your boat is far enough away from water that it can't drift-out with out you. Bummer to be stranded and pay for a boat, lol. I lived out east and yes black flys can be annoying. I live in the South West and we don't have all that foolishness. Please come out here, you'll love it. Like your accent, Safe Travels!
Maybe I can visit again next time I am in the USA! And it’s crazy with these flies - we don’t have those in Europe. It was actually my fault that I got bitten so badly because I just thought that flies don’t bite and that they are too small to cause any harm. How wrong I was. 😂😂😂
Deinen deutschen Akzent wenn Du Englisch sprichst, find ich so lustig 🙃 .. ausserdem fährst Du die selbe Maschine wie ich .. tolle Eindrücke einer Reise ! Schön und äusserst berührend fand ich auch die Begegnung mit dem Brett, der ja seine große "letzte" Tour macht ! Ich finde es wirklich gut, dass eine Frau ( in meinen Zeiten - in den 80-ern fast nicht vorhanden !? ) am Motorrad solche Reisen macht. Hut ab ! und alles Erdenklich Gute für Dich ! Bring die Tenere und Dich gut und unversehrt zurück ! Alles Gute und toll gemacht !
Moin Lea, abermals ein tolles Video aus einer faszinierend, schönen Landschaft. Es war eindeutig die richtige Entscheidung, dem Staat der der Stadt N.Y. den Vorzug zu geben. Lieber in der Natur als in der Großstadt. C u next week. LG Bianca
Hi Lea, what a lovely area of the USA, in lots of ways it reminded me of our Lake district here in the UK, only on a far smaller scale of course. It seemed so peaceful just paddling that canoe on the lodge's lake and realising you had previously been in that other area before, it's so lovely to re-kindle memories of previous times spent. Thank you.
Adirondacks are absolutely massive. 6 million acres. Bigger than Yosemite national park, Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park combined. Literally the largest protected park in the lower 48 states.
Lake District is much smaller and has smaller elevation as well by a considerable amount. I believe the highest peak in the Adirondacks is 3k feet (1k meter) higher than the highest peak in the Lake District.
I was born in Utica NY. I live up in the Adirondacks now. Ive skied Whiteface mountain many times over the years. You did a great job with this vidio. Glad you ejoyed the Adirondacks come back again sometime.
That was wonderful. I am so glad you got to visit NY state. No matter what people think about New York city, New York state is amazing and the people who live upstate are super nice! I can't wait for your trip to Vermont. You should come back to Vermont during ski season! Love your videos!!
I really wish I would have know when you were in New Jersey. There are loads of weird and wonderful places to visit in the country's ugliest state! LOL have a great holiday!
G2G this was spectacular. Thanks so much. I've been wanting to visit Adirondack Park for 30 years and I think, now, after seeing this, I will do so in the late summer of 2023. Great content, great production and great presentation by a very likeable someone who is obviously infected with "joie de vivre". Wonderful adventure this! Cheers.
Thank you for this nice comment - and I think you won’t regret a trip to the Adirondacks. Make sure to stop somewhere where you can go a bit off the beaten track - for me the stay at elk lake lodge was like a relaxing gift.
Omg how nice. You spent time in my second home city of Utica NY. I’m originally from Bosnia immigrated to USA 1994. And Adirondack you couldn’t pick better place to visit. I recently started following you and I enjoy watching your videos. Keep traveling and posting. You should visit Bosnia as well if you didn’t already.
Years ago went to a camp on Lake Placid only available by boat. This was in the 1950’s. Today one granddaughter attends Univ of Vermont and is a Nordic ski racer. Lake Placid is one of the places she goes to Race.
Lea, When people think of NY State they think of the city. Nothing could be farther from the beauty that is nearby in the mountains and lakes. I had the pleasure of working the area several times and also several BMW rallies are held there lending opportunity to see the places first hand. From the Catskills , the Finger Lakes, the Great Lakes, Olympic Villages and all areas in between it is a magnificent state. Different ethnic backgrounds of the inhabitants provide a very diverse culture and foods to enjoy. with god roads to travel and an abundance of places to stay it s truly a motorcyclists paradise. Rivers to mountains and curves to negotiate twist the grip and see the sites. I look forward to the Green State of Vermont. We rallied there a few times as well high in the mountains of the ski areas and the Lake Champlain region to the French Canadian border. It too is a wonderful place. What did you name the the newest Ben and Jerry's ice cream?
Hey, don’t spoiler the secret where we are going next week (and how much Ice cream I gonna have 😂😂😂). You are completely right though about everything that you say about the state New York!
Ciao Lea, questo di viaggio è di gran lunga il più bello di tutti quelli che ho visto e seguito fino a qui. Un posto che sembra un misto di paradiso terrestre e un ambiente stile Last of Mohawk. Grazie infinite.
@@Got2Go Americade is bike rally in Lake George NY. close to where you were riding. You would have loved Alexandria Bay if you stayed more westerly NY. If you find yourself in trouble when up this way give a shout as I'm in Manchester NH.
Ihre Videos Lea sind unheimlich schön! Sie haben meine volle Unterstützung! Lassen Sie sich nicht entmutigen, und streben Sie nach Süden! Und danke! Grüße aus tiny Frankreich !
Nice video ! Next year I will take the 6 hour journey on the motorcycle to do the same thing ! This year we’re taking the car lol ! Be safe , thanks for making the nice video !
You were in my stomping ground!! In Long Lake, yes the plane is gone as the fella that owned it died. The black flies can be viscous! So much to do in the ADK....and even more remote areas....but keep in mind....drone use in major portions of the Adirondacks is illegal. Glad you got to experience some of it...hope you get to again someday. Happy travels.
Beautiful! I live in Amherst NY not to far away. From what I've seen on your journey/vacation I will go there. All along it's right in my backyard ! Wow, thank you for the amazing video!
WOW love your videos, but this one is really nice, drone takes superb, and I know the feeling of riding up mountains raining, and snowing. If there is something that we take when it is our time to go is Definitely The memories, so thanks for sharing those with me. 🤠💐
you made the right decision. Upstate NY is where all the NYC people vacation because of the beautiful mountain's woods and lakes. They very frequently retire up here because of it,
Thanks for that beautiful tour. Close, relatively, to where I live north of the border. I will have to make a trip there next summer. Thanks for pointing out these gems. Cheers and safe riding.
Really enjoyed this adventure... Big Thumbs Up! Growing up in Texas, I had thought New York was just the City. Imagine my surprise seeing the beautiful mountains and lakes when I passed through upstate NY on a trip hauling a bulldozer from Dallas to Montreal. I seem to remember a waterfall near the two lane highway we traveled. Later I visited Vermont and lived at Lake Winnepasaki in New Hampshire... so I know about black flies, too! Look forward to the next video in Vermont! Happy trails.
They are really nasty little buggers! This was the first time I encountered them. And I have to admit that my knowledge about the state New York had not been that big either before I went there myself!
Glad you got to enjoy my current hometown of Utica and the Adirondacks. It's some of the deepest and darkest wilderness you can still find so close to the east coast of the USA. We call the flowers "Forget-me-nots"
just discovered this channel. she did not mention but Whiteface was the location of the alpine skiing for the 1980 Winter Olympics. I visited the Lake Placid area in 1981, I don't remember that road being a possibility, we took chairlifts to the top. Now I need to go back.
What a beautiful area! I'm glad you went North instead of into NYC. New York State is magnificent, the city is not (for me anyway) Thanks for bringing us along!
Looks like you passed within a mile of our home when you were travelling along route 28. We love it here and enjoy everything about the Adirondacks...except the black flies. Fortunately, they are only prevalent during May and June. Some one should have given you a headnet.
I grew up in Adirondacks for 22 years. Went to camps, canoed the upper Hudson River and my grandparents had a home on Lake Lucerne as well as the Lake Lucerne Inn frequented by NY travelers. Thank you for posting this! It’s no doubt more commercialized than years back.
Lea Upstate New York is gorgeous in every season. I ski a lot there in the winter and do a lot of kayaking and motorcycle camping there. As usual, you captured the beauty fabulously!!! I love all of the Northeast as I live in Connecticut. Wonderful video Lady! Of course you get more Roses until your next video. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🏆🏆 Ride SAFE and BE safe Lea! 🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏🤙🖖✌👌👍👋🙂
A friend and I rode motorcycles out to Lake George from Massachusetts last week. I wish I had seen your video before we went as I would have planned a day trip from Lake George where we stayed to Long Lake and rte 28. All the planning was left to me, my riding pal just sat back and followed so I missed some opportunities that I wasn’t aware of. My riding pal couldn’t get out of bed early so our riding was cut short and we only had two days. But the route we took through the back roads of NH and VT to get there didn’t disappoint. In September will be riding up to Acadia National Park. I believe National Parks don’t allow drones but I am saving up to get one. Love your video it’s very well put together. Edit: this is the first of your videos I’ve seen but I just noticed you have taken a break from YT. Hope all is well.
Great video thank you very well done. This is my backyard all day trips beautiful video . Adirondack is bark eaters in Indian for the Indian's that lived there in the harsh winters they ate the bark to survive. Thanks again cheers to ya.
Well I did not know such a quiet and peaceful place is so accessibleand beautiful... Really really like the video. Thank you so much for being there for us!
I’m glad you enjoyed our back yard in the state of New York. The Adirondack mountains are the best part of New York is far as I can see I’ve been going to the Adirondacks since 1966 usually around the long lake area absolutely gorgeous and beautiful.
That was a wonderful spot you found. I don’t think any one would use the word “famous” in describing black flys or mosquitoes. More like infamous maybe. Fortunately their season doesn’t last long. I have enjoyed these videos. These were all areas my wife and I rode together. First time through Lk Placid we nearly froze. I found the last pair of Gortex ski gloves in a shop to keep my hands dry and warm. I still have them. That was our first ever long distance trip and we quickly realized we needed to get much better gear. It was a cold, wet, and windy trip in May. But we were hooked. Thanks for the memories.
Like you, I prefer staying off the beaten path. The peace and serenity of nature is not only relaxing but really does rejuvenate the body and soul. Your ability to capture the beauty and feeling of each area you travel through is amazing, makes me feel like I am there with you, even to those terrible looking Black Fly bites. OUCH!
Thank you so very much for sharing your motorcycle trip of East Coast of America I really enjoyed it. You have shown me parts of the countryside that I probably wouldn’t have got to see experience the wonderful culture. It bought back some wonderful memories for me as I am now no longer able to physically travel since 2011 when I was diagnosed with cancer, I thought I would be able to travel again last year but my cancer has returned.
I just discovered your channel and I love it! What a surprise for me to see you riding through, and loving, my home state! I can't well enough describe the remoteness, beauty, scents, and the overwhelmng sensory experience of traversing this great state. I've done it in cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, and horses. Our lakes, mountains, rivers, fields, gorges, and caves are simply stunning and satisfying to the soul. You have done a fine job of capturing a little bit of that feeling. You must come back and explore more. You would not believe how much more there is! Brava!!
