Whitney Park, biggest private property in Adirondacks, readies to sell

Whitney Park, the vast private territory of Adirondack forestland and waters bodies in Long Lake destined to be sold to benefit the town, will be listed with a real estate agent soon with the goal of selling at the maximum value, the man handling the matter said.

In an interview, Edward Hendrickson, the co-executor of his brother John’s will, said the 36,600-acre property could potentially be acquired by the public.

The Adirondack Explorer thanks its advertising partners. Become one of them.

“I’m sure if the state is interested, they’ll reach out, these land trusts will reach out,” said the older brother of the late owner of the property. “I’m open to talk to them. If they’re not interested in the price tag it’ll be a quick conversation. We’ll list the property and then we’ll engage.”

Whitney Park, promoted as woodlands with 32 lakes and ponds, more than 100 miles of roads and trails and unmatched visual splendor, is bigger than what was advertised for sale in 2022 for $180 million. It’s long been on environmental groups and the state’s conservation wish lists.

That’s what I tell myself cutting open that spaghetti squash first thing this morning to bake with the bread I was baking. Didn’t draw much blood by nicked my finger a bit and it hurts. Cold morning so I decided best to get up early and get cooking.

Well, Happy Thursday. ⛅ We didn’t get the snow they got up north but it’s still around 33 degrees outside and my heat is off for year if possible so I figured put my chef’s 🧑‍🍳 hat on a day earlier. I don’t actually have a chef’s hat but I do have black beans, two loafs of bread 🍞, spaghetti squash and acorn squash cooking. 🍆 I might do rice 🍚 tomorrow morning, that would be good with the black beans. Cornmeal pancakes with spinach, canned 🥫 tomatoes, onions, and whole wheat flour for breakfast.

Still waiting on that part for the bike 🚲 front derailuer and I adjusted the rear derailuer which wasn’t shifting into highest gear ⚙️ yesterday properly. I do want to replace that chain, which with the current link 🔗 chain should be easy to do. I’ll do both jobs when the part comes in and get things working smoothly before the nicer weather is in full swing and I’m doing lots of miles.
