Great surf and turf weekend

[ADKSUPr]

My husband and I went up to Lake Placid last weekend to check out the course for the ADK 80k mountain bike race at Mount Van Hoevenberg and get in a little paddling.  It was fun to bike on the trails that we often x-c on and see what is under all of that snow.  A real bonus was an early-morning paddle at Lower Saranac Lake.  It's now one of my favorite lakes.  We saw 5 loons (one was a tiny baby) and one bald eagle.  We watched the rain come in and obliterate our view of the mountains.  It was an amazing experience to be out there in the misty rain.  Here are pics:  http://www.pbase.com/j_harvey/lake_placid__summer.

Anyone else out there have some great surf and turf experiences to share?
