Natural Stone Bridge & Caves
This morning we drove about 75 miles south to Warrensberg, NY. When we worked camp there 6 years ago we enjoyed the smoked & uncooked sausages From Oscar's Smokehouse so decided we needed to get some. As we traveled south on rte through the Adirondack mountains we passed a lot of cars parked along the road. This is a prime climbing & hiking area as well as being a very pretty drive. After having lunch and going to Oscar's in Warrensberg we drove back no on rte 9 to the Schroon Lake area. At Pottersville we stopped at the Natural Stone Bridge and Caves Park. At this location the Schroon River enters a series of underground caves and a huge marble bridge as it goes completely under ground before exiting perhaps 1/4 mile later. Here it looks like a like a mirrored pool that you could walk right out on, unlike the the rushing falling river that it is just before entering the caves and bridge. What an awesome and beautiful place. On the way back most of the hikers and climbers had left or were in the process of putting their gear back into their cars.
