FOURTH FULL DAY - JULY 25TH

Camp Sagamore Main Lodge

The morning started off with a trip and tour to another great camp of the Adirondacks, Camp Sagamore. Camp Sagamore was only a fifteen minute car ride from our location at Antlers. We were able to explore most of the immense camp during a guided walking tour. Some of the camp is not part of the tour due to the fact that guests are still welcome to stay at the camp during the summer months. During the tour we were able to see the old barn, stable, wigwam, lean-to, dining hall, bowling ally, and main lodge. We were even lucky enough to visit the blacksmiths shop with an actual blacksmith working inside! The complex is truly amazing and I feel lucky to have the opportunity to visit another one of the Great Adirondack Camps. During the afternoon we had some time to work on our projects. Then at dinner we were visited by the author of our class book Adirondack Green, John Slade. We had the opportunity to have a chat with him about his experiences and his fellings about energy and where our country is headed in the future. He truly has a great personality and a great vision for what we must do to improve our way of life. This is because he has done the research and visited the places where they are doing it right. He is passionate about what he believes in and he hopes for the best in our future.
