Camp, Part 3-rail bikes!

Stephen and Katie were game to join us on an outing we'd never done before, or even heard of prior to a few months ago. Turns out you can rent "bail bikes" -- small flat cars which allow you to pedal along old abandoned sections of the railway through the Adirondacks. The section they use runs from Clear Lake to Saranac. Takes about an hour to "bike". We rented a two-seater and a four-seater, and it was, as you can see, a gorgeous day for it. The boys rode with Stephen and Katie and Susan and I had our own--very kind of S&K! Had a great time of it!






This is a view of the crew getting the rail bikes ready.

The establishment is in an old railroad station.

The staffworker showing Josh how to pedal. He really couldn't--the pedals were a bit too far--but he had fun anyway.

And here's Stephen after our lunch at the Blue Moon in Saranac.
