 . Fortunately, in recent years the Hudson Riverkeepers have pushed for a program of enforcement of the Clean Water Act against GE and other industrial polluters, helping to bring the river back toward its once pristine quality (the sort that you can still find in the Adirondacks). But, it still has a ways to go before I'm prepared to consume any fish or other things out of that river.Don Guido, congrats on a very convincing win.

I'm sure many don't realize that if you are fortunate to drive in the upper northeast region of the Adirnodacks, the Hudson River winds its way hear and there originating from Lake Tear of the Clouds. I'm sure that name originated has an Indian origin.
I've driven along side of it and crossed it (and it's not real wide) a number of times in that area and it looks clear and pristine. Beautiful drive. It does not officially become the Hudson River until it leave Henderson Lake further a little further south. The Mohawk River is a main tributary to join the Hudson River just north of Albany.

Don, you are describing one of the most picturesque parts of the Northeast. Establishing the Adirondack Preserve was one of the best things New York State ever did. It sounds as if you spent a lot of quality time in the Adirondacks in earlier days.
Since you mentioned Lake Tear of the Clouds, let me add a bit of historical trivia associated with it. In 1901, Vice President Teddy Roosevelt was at Lake Tear of the Clouds after returning from a hike to the Mount Marcy summit when he received a message informing him that President McKinley, who had been shot two weeks earlier, had taken a turn for the worse. Roosevelt hiked down the mountain and then took a 40 mile midnight stage coach ride to the railway station at North Creek, New York, where he learned that McKinley had died. Roosevelt then took the train to Buffalo, where he was officially sworn in as President

"It sounds as if you spent a lot of quality time in the Adirondacks in earlier days."
Yes and the memories are etched in my brain forever along with the smell of pine needles and boat houses. Hard to describe how much I loved and still love the Adirondacks . . . except of course in the winter time. Funny thing is Patty summered all of her young life at her grandmothers in western foothills, on Trout Lake, north of Gouverneur, NY. Never knew we both had Adirondack blood in our veins until we first met . . . in our very late teens. Sorry folks for me keeping this rather off subject thread going. My fault! I'm done.
