Sugar Camp

Guest Book Entry:
Dear Martin and Louise, Thank you very much for sharing this awesome space and New Camp with me. This peace-filled place and quiet is just what the doctor ordered. I enjoyed the biscuits and jam, hiking, reading in the hammock, quilting on the porch, firebuilding and the pure simplicity of camp life. I will treasure the time spent here always and look forward to sharing the experience with my sons and husband this Summer. Sincerely, Alison

Crocus all alone (An email exchange.)

Subject: Crocus all alone From: "Alison" Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 09:07:18 -0400 To: "Martin \(Your Adirondack Guide\)" Hi Martin~ Funny, I was thinking- of you yesterday morning. Wondering if you had been able to get away for another winter road trip. I was thinking of sending you an email and was taking a guess at what the weather and conditions may be like out your door. The beginning of another Adirondack Wanderlust...on my part. Then came your crocus story...made me smile and my heart sink a bit. It reminded me of my very first visit and my stay at New Camp, probably close to 10 years ago, in late April. I had been SO desperate to get away...away from the kids, the house, the responsibility, the everyday grind (the now ex). I had just had it with my life as it was. You could say I was running away - but for a limited time...knowing that I had to go back. I never thought I'd miss any of it! I was basking in the silence, the beauty, no routine,...doing ONLY what I wanted to do (and not what I HAD to do, as usual)...until I was on a hike up past Ridge Camp and came across a single crocus in bloom. I looked around wanting desperately to share the site with someone. I wondered how it got to that particular spot (?) ...I missed my boys...I wanted to share that mysterious flower with them....and realized that I really didn't want to be all alone. I think of that crocus often. It was a sort of turning point in my life. I thought you'd appreciate the sentiment. Sappy, perhaps...but honest. I hope to scratch enough pennies together to make the trip sometime this Summer.... Until then Martin, Alison Subject: Re: Crocus all alone From: "Martin (Your Adirondack Guide)" Date: Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:29:27 -0400 To: alison@****baby.com Alison-- Thanks for telling me about the crocus you found in April years ago up by Ridge. I'm happy to hear about things like that, that can happen in a special way when you're all alone in a natural place. Sad, maybe, but nice all the same. And finding one up there! That makes me not so sure about what I said about them "The Crocus Story." I may have something to learn from this. The beginning of another Adirondack Wanderlust...on my part." Yes. Come back this year if you can possibly make the time. And it won't cost you that many pennies, either. Martin
