What is it and Where in the World is it?

Lake Placid, New York State?

Looks like the top of the hill at Anzac Cove in the Dardenells...:-)##

We have a Bingo and Amatikulu is the winner.

At the base of White Face Mountain are the ski jumps and Olympic Torch, in the valley is Lake Placid.



Olympic village and the Torch with Whiteface Mountain in the back ground.



I normally don’t ski jump in the summer months so I spent most of the time fishing from a canoe at a very remote lake. You carried your canoe and gear a half mile to get to the lake while the black flies and mosquitoes made a meal of your arms.

That’s meals of your defenseless elevated bare arms that are supporting the canoe, and I wondered “why” some stupid people were wearing long sleeve shirts in August when we started the carry or portage.

Mr. Horton states "(It also screwed us out of the Enfield Rifle from being our nation rifle) ". I think we did it to ourselves, considering Mr. Lee presented several versions of his rifle for US military adoption. Guess the trapdoor was sooo much better!

At Lake Champlain Benedict Arnold stopped the British from invading the American Colonies from Canada. Many Americans think of Benedict Arnold as a traitor but at Lake Champlain he was a hero, by stopping the British from invading from the north he prevented the games of Cricket and Rugby from becoming our national sports. Our victory at Lake Champlain assured that the American games of Baseball and Football would become as American as Apple pie and Chevrolet. (It also screwed us out of the Enfield Rifle from being our nation rifle)

Unfortunately in the end this didn’t stop the Canadians from illegally sneaking that silly game of hockey across the border into the “Colonies”.

Benedict Arnold stopped the British at Lake Champlain and at the lake below me we stopped and soundly defeated the Russians in their worst defeat in modern history.



The mountain might be little known but the lake below it is world famous.

Sorry to dissapoint you Ed, but the national spport of the USA up to the
Civil War was cricket!
