Regarding the Outhouse Race pictured yesterday: I don't know if there is an actual "prize" for coming in first, other than a trophy of sorts and bragging rights to the fastest outhouse on the lake! My son's team came in 5th (out of 10). Not bad, considering they just built the thing last week and had no preparation or idea of what they were doing. Beer, however, was involved. When you have a 32-mile long lake that freezes from end to end, people come up with things to do on it. I think there are also snowmobile races, car races, motorcycle races, and ATV races. The festival opened up yesterday with skydivers landing on the lake.
My son's a real Adirondacker - he loves to snowmobile, rock climb, and now he wants to get into ice climbing. The irony is, he wants to leave the area, because he's convinced it must be better someplace else.
