Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire A few tips for my Downstate and Jersey Friends

Cute, but since when is Saratoga Springs the DAKS? To me it just another suburb of Albany. The Northway during rush hour could be the LIE or I 80 these days.Everyone bitches about downstaters and Jersey folk except when they are trying to make a living then everyone is looking for the tourists so they can get a taste of some of "That City Money" as I have heard more then once on my travels through the North Country.

Now the Bulletbutt moniker reveals itself.........

That's a good one.......

If he lives any place near Caroga Lake he may be in the 'dacks.

" as I ride around my little city, and "up north" in the ADK's"

I didnt say Saratoga was in the ADK's, see the and!! Try reading slower.

on the northway, ADK park starts right around lake george near the queensbury area, just like elf's map shows.

Adstalker...what's your favorite route to travel when you head to the Mtns? I always like the loop around Crown Point area and down.

Since I mainly go up to camp in IL, I go 87N to Warrensburg and up 28. When we're out for a drive we go up to Long Lake the same way thru Blue Mtn and on to Hoss's then home thru Newcomb out Blue Ridge rd to 87 south

Don't ever come down through IL? That's were I grew up.. My ex's family is from Blue Mtn. Kids from Blue MTn and Raquette Lake come to IL for school. Then if they want to do Vo Tech they have to travel as far as Glens Falls. Lots of time spent on the road for their educations ..

Your location is listed as Saratoga Springs under your title.

Thanks for reminding me where I live.

The point that you've missed is that there are many tourists BOTH in Saratoga and the ADK's, two places I am very familiar with and enjoy being in.

Go up to and thru IL. Got a little hunting shack on Cedar river rd. Spend lots of time in IL and Marty's for margarita's!

When you turn to go onto 28...I'm about 3 miles north...just off Rt 9.Intersection of Stockfarm and 9.

Ohh so your the one that makes all that noise over there.
If you were to go out the back door and venture through Marty's parking lot you'd be in my Mom's backyard

Marty's was better before it evolved to Marty's Mexican whatever.
Heard the Oak barrel was for sale. The Bear Trap is still kickin', barely. We try to do the circuit when up for hunting.

So instead of turning left onto 28 (coming from warrensburg), (by the Dodge truck place) go straight?

Yeah,follow 9 to the Red Truck Clayworks (Pottery).I'm across the st.
We got the Dack's back!
At least for tonight...took a ride to Pumkin Mt. Gun Shop.(40.7 mi's from my door)
Could count all the cars I encountered on both hands me thinks.

pumpkin mtn gunshop, is that between IL and blue mtn? Don Chamberlain I think the name was?

I agree the bars seem to have taken a downward spiral in town. Used to be a great source of entertainment for us kids to watch the patrons stumble from one bar to another and then back again
Thinking the major party people have grown up and or moved on to larger towns.
