Today I went to Fort Ticonderoga and we saw somebody demonstrate shooting a musket gun and someone else shoot a canon, but with no cannonball. You could see most of Lake George from the top of the fort. When we looked down from one of the cannons we saw about four wild turkeys. My dad took a picture of me sitting in a cannon, just like a ball.
After Fort Ticonderoga, we drove to a trailhead with a lake and a quarry next to it. In the lake we found frogs about the size of a fingernail. They looked like really tiny toads. We saw somebody trying to catch minnows with a net like I did before, and he was catching them with bread which I usually don’t do when I catch them. He was catching them for bait. Originally we were going to a trail when we got to the trail we started walking down the hill and then we turned on the pathway and then there was a sign saying “Warning, Rattlesnakes!” I felt kind of good that I might see a rattlesnake.

Hey Julian! Glad you liked Fort Ticonderoga!! But, i wanted to ask you to get out your map and check it out - that was Lake Champlain not Lake George! Actually, where you saw the rattlesnake sign was between Lake Champlain and Lake George on Tongue Mountain. Great hikes in there! LG flows north and comes down a bunch of waterfalls in Ticonderoga and into LC. Then that flows north into Canada and out the Saint Lawrence. Thanks for visiting and take care!
ReplyDeleteHi, Julian. I for one am glad you did not have a close encounter with a rattlesnake!
