Leaf-Peepin' 2014 - Part II

Sunrise - Room 9 - Oxbow Motel
After a restful sleep, Joan and I arose to find a fog shrouded Owbow Lake. Joan went to the office. There Jay Bain, the Oxbow Lake Motel owner, offered Joan two cups of brewed coffee and four slices of chocolate zucchini bread baked by Betsy. Jay suggested the King of the Frosties for breakfast.

Before heading out for breakfast, we drove down to the motel dock for photos.

Before arriving in Speculator we stopped to photograph two churches, Lake Pleasant United Methodist Church and Grace United Methodist Church in Speculator.

Lee, our waitress at the King of the Frosties, brought us water and coffee. Our meals, Joan had eggs over lightly and I had my usual Western omelet, quickly came out of the kitchen. Both dishes were served with thin sliced fried potatoes that were delicious.

Before checking out of the motel we had a conversation with David, a biker from New York City. This was his first road trip to the Adirondacks.

On the road again we turned left in Speculator and headed to Indian Lake. Made three stops.

We pulled over at Blue Mt. Lake for a pit stop and to take the mandatory photos.
Pulled over on Rt. 28 to photograph Raquette Lake and St. William R.C. Church plus the community garden project.

 Feeling a need for food we decided to go to Daikers. Despite being busy we were seated quickly on the veranda. Hannah, our waitress, was very attentive. Joan had a Cape Cod salad and I had a chicken wrap.

Heading towards the Thruway we decided to visit Delta Lake State Park. Thanks to the GPS we got there easily.
We returned to 88 safely to find a message from Michael and Emily on the answering machine. They had yet to leave Las Vegas due to the problems in Chicago.
