This weekend I’m joining the throngs of New Yorkers who flee the city on summer weekends. While in general I think it’s a fine place to be anytime of year and I enjoy the mellowness of the summer city weekends, I’ll be heading up to my in-laws’ cabin in the Adirondacks. I’m hoping the mountains and woods might offer a little relief from the heat which the unfortunate air conditioning situation in our apartment does not.

The Adirondacks have become one of the most popular nature getaways for New Yorkers. Even though the Catskills and the Poconos are closer (and now cheaper), the Adirondacks has seemingly surpassed them in numbers of New York expatriates.
