Other activities Christmas week near Gore?

You can also mountain bike to santonini. It is basically a gravel road. Dippikill is also a nice local hike. I dont konw how far cooperstown is, but the hall of fame will take a day.  Yesterday i went bowling in lake george and then saw star wars in glens falls.

Thank god for wifi, huh?

"Aw, Dad, we have to hike again?"


Whatever you do, stay away from rafting on the Hudson with the alcoholic guides. They must be really lit up this time of year.

You've had a house there for 10 years and your looking for things to do

It's the Adirondacks bro

build a campfire, pull up some chairs, and kick back.

And light up the bong and polish off a case.

Great Escape Water Park in Queensbury should be good for a day diversion.  

I believe that one must stay at the hotel to get into the waterpark.

Alcoholic river guides? No way.

There is no rafting at this time of year.
