Nature reclaims its estate – Adirondack Explorer

Nature reclaims its estate – Adirondack Explorer

The star-crossed lovers fled the paparazzi and stole north to their mountain hideout, an over-the-top manse in the backwoods of Warren County.

This smitten pair was used to being in the spotlight, and not without notoriety. He, Hollywood’s silent film-era heartthrob Rudolph Valentino, had just done jail time for bigamy; his flame was the dazzling and aloof costume and set designer, Natacha Rambova. In August of 1922, Valentino stole to her arms here, slipping into Johnsburg, disguised in a fake beard and dark goggles.

Their refuge was Foxlair, a sweeping wilderness estate owned by the legendary cosmetics magnate Richard Hudnut, also Rambova’s adoptive father. Today, the huge manor is no more. The land is now part of the Adirondack Forest Preserve, and the state is planning public trails and other upgrades. The land is within the footprint of Adirondack Mountain Club’s “Eastern Trails” guidebook, which I author, so I set out over two summers to find what’s left of the fairy-tale hideaway.

I was really hoping to get out of town this weekend, but once again the winter weather has defeated me

I was really hoping to get out of town this weekend, but once again the winter weather has defeated me. 🌨

It looks like based on the forecast that Brookfield is getting a half inch of ice today and 7 1/2 inches of snow tomorrow, and it will have a low of negative 2 on Saturday. There is no way in hell I’m getting my truck back to even the Moscow Hill Horse Camp for an overnight and not getting stuck, even if I could off the road. Plus negative two is much too cold.

And then Johnsburg forecast for camping off NY 8 is even more of a joke. They’re getting a third of an inch of freezing rain plus 8 inches of snow tomorrow. That’s on top of the foot of snow they already have, so not much of a chance of parking anywhere along NY 8. And it’s going to be negative 11 degrees on Saturday night.

So I think I can safely cross off going camping this weekend. But alas, only 3 weeks to March and 10 weeks until April 15th. Before you know it, summer weekends up at Piseco-Powley Road will be back or so I tell myself.

Minor earthquake shakes southern Adirondacks early Saturday morning | NCPR News

A minor earthquake shook the southern Adirondacks over the weekend. The 1.8 magnitude quake hit near North Creek in Warren County around 3 a.m. Saturday.

Residents in both North Creek and Johnsburg reported feeling the quake to the US Geological Survey.

While earthquakes are less frequent in the Eastern US compared to west of the Rocky Mountains, the Adirondack Park is one of the more seismically active regions in the Northeast.

Past Eleventh Mountain with Lots of Color

Driving past Eleventh Mountain with lots of color along NY 8, outside of Johnsburg, not that far from Gore Mountain. The color is pretty good in this area, at least from the last weekend, but further down along the East Branch of the Sacandaga River, there is less color.
