When you buy a home in Garnet Hill you know it's a public lake that allows motor boats. That's it. Enjoy it. Don't complain to DEC that you are unhappy with your choice. Don’t fix what is not broken.

]]> Comment on APA approves Tupper Lake resort by Susan http://adirondackexplorer.org/out-takes/2012/01/20/apa-approves-tupper-lake-resort/comment-page-1/#comment-191490 Susan Mon, 21 May 2012 23:16:09 +0000 http://adirondackexplorer.org/out-takes/?p=2473#comment-191490 I cannot believe how many people don't realize that this development is destined to fail! Nobody's interested in a winter vacation home to ski Big Tupper. There are far better mountains in the ADKS to ski. They're not going to sell as summer homes either. People want lakefront property where they can dock their boats unless they prefer to be in the woods, in which case, they're looking for private land, not a townhouse in a large development with no dock space. Can you imagine waiting everyday to launch your boat? How early do you have to get there before you're waiting hours for those ahead of you? There's no room to leave your boat for an hour or two while you go home to have dinner and don't forget the wait to get your boat back out of the water. Forget about fishing in the evening because you have to put the boat back in again. 700 homes and 40 docks? Nobody's going to buy these houses except the 40 people who get the docks! And don't hold your breath for one of those great jobs their promising. The real jobs aren't going to the locals. Their saving the seasonal, minimum wage jobs with no benefits for them. When it's all over, the land will be destroyed and the developer long gone with Tupper Lake left to foot the bill. I love Tupper Lake and the people. I just hope they wake up and see what's really going on here. I cannot believe how many people don’t realize that this development is destined to fail!

Bill Brown, an expert on timber rattlers… said the Split Rock population is unusual in that all the specimens are black. Except for a tiny population in New Hampshire, other populations in the North are made up of black snakes and yellow snakes (with crossbands)… A biologist who has studied timber rattlers for more than three decades, Brown attributes the uniformity of the Split Rock population to the “founder effect.” It is supposed that all the founders of the population were black, and no yellow snakes contributed to the gene pool.

How did you get Mr McCulley off his ATV to go for a walk? Looking svelte Jim! Keep buring those calories instead of hydrocarbons and some might accuse you of being one of those kale eating liber-ales! There is much to debate here, but the real question is to Susan.

From the empty Tofu containers? I am pretty sure I carried out your trash once. It was the soiled diapers, empty SPAM can and second amendment primer guide, which coincidentally had the pages stuck together. None of which I could recycle. Well accept every other page of the primer. Dear Mr Rudd,

Don't piss all over the concept until you have tried it. Urinating on a fellow hiker can raise the temperature of both the reliever and the reciever. When the ambient temp is 40, there is nothing like a 98.6 degree shower! I am really pissed off about these comments. Don’t piss all over the concept until you have tried it.

We need an interview with these people or the rangers who found them. They were probably so tired they went back to their hotel to take a nice long, hot, golden shower. Any truth they used their feces as sun screen? This can’t be true! We need an interview with these people or the rangers who found them.
