the scenery is breathtaking, the quality is epic, one of the most enjoyed 31 minute I’ve had watch a UA-cam vide . thank you Lea for bringing us along 😍
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
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. 😂😂😂
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.
I just wanted to say thank you for this video and introducing me to the Adirondacks. My wife and I are currently driving back to South Florida after a weekend there to celebrate our 29th anniversary. It was amazing! Keep doing what you do. Great work. Cheers!
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 !
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.
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 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.
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.
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. 🤠💐
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.
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.
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!
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!
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 !
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.
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"
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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! 🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏🤙🖖✌👌👍👋🙂
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 !
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!
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.
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.
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!
@@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.
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.
Thanks for this superb and beautiful video. As I live nearby and have hiked and visited the Adirondacks for all my life, I appreciate you capturing and showing our beautiful area. Thank you and all the best to you.
Those of us that have grown up and live in the Adirondacks have always said the Black Fly should be the State of NY bird instead of the bluebird. They are certainly an experience but one you eventually become accustomed to (because you have no choice). Nice video showing our lovely area without exploiting it...Thank you!
My wife and watched this together on our home TV. I have commented before on your beautiful drone work. This episode was again so wonderful. You inspired me to get my first drone, a DJI mini 2. Thank you so much!!
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.
Ma’am, coming from an US army son, ya can’t use kilos and states in the same discrimination. Soon doing a road trip from Florida to Canadia and worried about my truck using liters of fuel vs gallons. Haha my pops and I were stationed in Baumholder when I was a we lad and lived off base. Most beautiful times as a young man. This channel is amazing!!!
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.
The view from the top of the mountain was stunning! We call the little flowers "forget-me-nots". I imagine you will not forget our famous "little black flies" of the boreal forest. The further north you go into Canada the worse they get. They like to bite along the hairline and go into ones ears, nose mouth and eyes. Nasty and annoying little buggers. Love your vlogs, just finished your great book. Kindest regards from BC Canada.
They actually even bit all my scalp, I had bloody bites all over it that opened each team I showered 😂😒. Learned a lesson again, I just thought that these small flies would do no harm!!!
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!
My first time seeing your content. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I spent many weekends in the Adirondack region when I was in the military at Ft. Drum. It is a wonderful place to recharge yourself. And I never knew about Whiteface Mountain. That view was breathtakingly beautiful. Safe travels!
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!!
Beautiful video for sure! I have not been to the Adirondack mountains before. It looks beautiful. I may go in September when there are no blacks flies. I have heard they are viscous and they certainly attacked you! 😩 Best!
Thank you Lea for the amazing vid of upstate NY. I went to HS in upstate NY and visit there often. I will be there next summer for several weeks and will visit some of the places in this video. I was born in Wurzburg Germany, so I am hoping to see some vids of Germany as I just subscribed to your channel. Be safe.
Glad you had a great trip north, I've lived here all my life,60 years, and for you to wander in to Elk Lake Lodge,you got to explore and experience a very remote gem.Great choice and wasn't White Face worth a little wait?
Thank you again Lea for the beautiful scenery that brought to mind the most beautiful moments of all my yearly rides, all those years past, through the Adirondacks, on my rides to the East Coast and eastern Canada. I always stayed in this tiny motel on Cranberry lake. The funny thing was that I had to get there before 5:00 PM in order to get some dinner at the only restaurant there(Unless I went up the mountain to another place). That spot on the lake was magical(Less the black flies of course). Upstate NY, in my opinion, has some of the most beautiful scenery in the East. Looking forward to the next video.
The entire Adirondack Park is absolutely spectacular in all seasons. The drive through the High Peaks region is amazing. And quite simply, Lake George is the King of the lakes in my books. Oh, and blackflies just laugh at bug spray. Doesn't work to repel the nasty little things.
Thank you for the review of the Adirondacks. I live here, and we some times forget what a beautiful place we live in.
Great episode! The Adirondack Park is New York’s jewel 💎
the scenery is breathtaking, the quality is epic, one of the most enjoyed 31 minute I’ve had watch a UA-cam vide . thank you Lea for bringing us along 😍
That’s great, I am happy you could enjoy the ride so much!!!

My first long motorcycle trip was around the Adirondacks. Stopped in the same spot on Long Lake. Should be on everyone's bucket list
How funny that you know exactly this place!

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!
Having grown up near the Adirondack’s, I really enjoyed this video. My cousin owns several resorts on Lake George. That lake is my happy place.
That’s awesome! I have to admit that I have never really explored lake George, but maybe next time!!!
Ihre Videos Lea sind unheimlich schön! Sie haben meine volle Unterstützung! Lassen Sie sich nicht entmutigen, und streben Sie nach Süden! Und danke!

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.
I love Long Lake! My cousin has a house on the Lake! You should stop at Lake Eaton!
Don’t forget to visit Lake Eaton😊

A absolutly beautifull and relaxing place!

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.
Woooooooowww superb and tremendously awesome place to see my friend. Beautiful drone shots
Thank you so much

Hopefully next time!

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!!!

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 !
Elk Lake looks like a cool place. I want to do the NEBDR good info. Thanks for the videos.
Would love to do that too!!!

The important thing is to keep the enthusiasm and continue to make the next video I always wish you good luck travel camping Fans From Indonesia Good
Thank you so much and hello to Indonesia!
It’s nice to see someone who gets the Adirondacks as much as I do I lived your video hope you come back and enjoy the mountains again.
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.

Thank you so much - it definitely was an enjoyable ride!
WOW Thank you definitely need to put this on my list during Americade 2023.
You definitely should! It’s a lovely ride!!!!
@@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.
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.
Thank you for this interesting information- I actually didn’t know, otherwise I would have included it in the video!
It was so nice seeing NY State again. We rode there on our bikes a few years ago. Thanks
If I where ever to make it back east I would love to check out the Adirondacks. I am not into big cities much. Great video Lea as usual.
For sure would be worth a visit if you travel there again!
Beautiful… what a wonderful stop over….
It really was 😍😍😍
Now Lea... I never use these words for this video,, nice , beautiful, stunning.. ! ... I'm Satisfied 👍
Danke, Lea, ich habe jede Minute genossen.
Das freut mich!
Thanks for this superb and beautiful video.
As I live nearby and have hiked and visited the Adirondacks for all my life, I appreciate you capturing and showing our beautiful area.
Thank you and all the best to you.
Those of us that have grown up and live in the Adirondacks have always said the Black Fly should be the State of NY bird instead of the bluebird. They are certainly an experience but one you eventually become accustomed to (because you have no choice). Nice video showing our lovely area without exploiting it...Thank you!
This hit so close to home seeing the areas where I traveled every semester to go to Paul Smiths College.
My wife and watched this together on our home TV. I have commented before on your beautiful drone work. This episode was again so wonderful. You inspired me to get my first drone, a DJI mini 2. Thank you so much!!
One of my most favorite places on the face of the Earth!
Very enjoyable video. Thanks for visiting the Adirondacks. My part of New York State.❤
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.
today some variety was there... realy enjoyed and new kind of episode....thanks ...beautiful lea....
Thank you so much!
That was a nice episode😃 Lots of nice nature that somehow reminds of Norway.
Wonderful connection to nature - enjoy !

Ma’am, coming from an US army son, ya can’t use kilos and states in the same discrimination. Soon doing a road trip from Florida to Canadia and worried about my truck using liters of fuel vs gallons. Haha my pops and I were stationed in Baumholder when I was a we lad and lived off base. Most beautiful times as a young man. This channel is amazing!!!
That was excellent! Thank you! I leave for the Adirondacks on 9/3 and can't wait!

Thank you!
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.
I'm new to the channel Lea and I'm hooked! So nice to see these beautiful places without getting bitten by the flies, love your accent as well.😊
Beauty of Nature everywhere wow.
It really is beautiful 😍
I have been searching for a video like this on adirondack for a long time. Now I have the basic route to explore adirondack. Thanks a lot.
Great video and scenery, Lea! Waiting for next Thursday! :)
Thank you!
Another wonderful journey Lea! Fantastic
Good call Lea! Northern New York is absolutely beautiful. The city of New York has way to many people. Thanks for sharing. 😊
I actually like both - but for this trip this decision was definitely the best one😍
Hi. I enjoy your east coast trip. I am from the great state of Maine but now live in Asia. Keep up the good work.
The view from the top of the mountain was stunning! We call the little flowers "forget-me-nots". I imagine you will not forget our famous "little black flies" of the boreal forest. The further north you go into Canada the worse they get. They like to bite along the hairline and go into ones ears, nose mouth and eyes. Nasty and annoying little buggers. Love your vlogs, just finished your great book. Kindest regards from BC Canada.
They actually even bit all my scalp, I had bloody bites all over it that opened each team I showered 😂😒. Learned a lesson again, I just thought that these small flies would do no harm!!!
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!
Your drone footage as always was beautiful!
Awesome , spectacular and beautiful 😂😂❤
Thank you!
Hey Lea! Thank you for these awesome pictures! Enjoy your trip! :)
Thank you for watching!
What a great video.. the scenery and your explanation of the area..GREAT..THANK YOU. I look forward to more of your adventures
Then I hope you are joining all the future rides too!
Realky beautiful - glad you showed - so I didnt have to be bitten! I would still be itching 😀
😂😂😂 it was a pleasure to take the bites for the video. 😂
My first time seeing your content. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I spent many weekends in the Adirondack region when I was in the military at Ft. Drum. It is a wonderful place to recharge yourself. And I never knew about Whiteface Mountain. That view was breathtakingly beautiful. Safe travels!
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!!
Looks like a great area to unwind a bit.....and love the drone footage on Elk Lake!!
Yes, I loved the days there
Beautiful video for sure! I have not been to the Adirondack mountains before. It looks beautiful. I may go in September when there are no blacks flies. I have heard they are viscous and they certainly attacked you! 😩 Best!
Who knows what other mean creatures might appear there later in the year - maybe the black flies grew to black monsters then 😂
@@Got2Go 😂😂😂
It is breathtaking and a fantastic video !Thank you for your amazing work Lea❤️
Thank you Lea for the amazing vid of upstate NY. I went to HS in upstate NY and visit there often. I will be there next summer for several weeks and will visit some of the places in this video. I was born in Wurzburg Germany, so I am hoping to see some vids of Germany as I just subscribed to your channel. Be safe.
Awesome..love nature the beauty and remoteness you found yourself…great travelling….
Glad you had a great trip north, I've lived here all my life,60 years, and for you to wander in to Elk Lake Lodge,you got to explore and experience a very remote gem.Great choice and wasn't White Face worth a little wait?
Thank you again Lea for the beautiful scenery that brought to mind the most beautiful moments of all my yearly rides, all those years past, through the Adirondacks, on my rides to the East Coast and eastern Canada. I always stayed in this tiny motel on Cranberry lake. The funny thing was that I had to get there before 5:00 PM in order to get some dinner at the only restaurant there(Unless I went up the mountain to another place). That spot on the lake was magical(Less the black flies of course). Upstate NY, in my opinion, has some of the most beautiful scenery in the East. Looking forward to the next video.
The entire Adirondack Park is absolutely spectacular in all seasons. The drive through the High Peaks region is amazing. And quite simply, Lake George is the King of the lakes in my books. Oh, and blackflies just laugh at bug spray. Doesn't work to repel the nasty little things.
Love your vlog..
Thank you!
Yes i enjoyed it, Great riding and the l;ake is awesome, id certainly would love to canoe on it..
