The 2013 Warrensburg Bike Rally and Americade Lake George Bike Rally

This week drew to a close the 2013 Americade Motorcycle Tour Bike Rally!  For over 25 years Americade has drawn bikers from all over the country and world to the Town of Lake George, New York to ride the Adirondack Mountains, Vermont and Canada! 

A second bike rally is now in place along side Americade ... The Warrensburg Bike Rally!  Located in the small foothill town of Warrensburg, New York, "The Gateway to the Adirondacks," just off Exit 23 of the Adirondack Northway, 5 miles west of Diamond Point, New York, and 5 miles north of the Village of Lake George (Americade's headquarters), The Warrensburg Bike Rally just finished its 12th year!

Hard to believe the rally's 12 years old ... and growing!  The rally runs for about nine days at the local fairgrounds, and bikers from all over visit to  get together for riding, clothing, leather goods, helmets, pin stripping, great food, and there's even a craft fair to compliment the biker's event!

Here's the best part ... it's free!  There's no charge to attend the Warrensburg Bike Rally!  The show's open from 8:30am until about or after 6:00pm!  This year the event raffled a 2012 Harley-Davidson XV 1200V motorcycle for a hardship fund to assist local families in need.

Thousands attend The Warrenburg Bike Rally, and 2014 should bring growth to this companion Americade Lake George Bike Rally, both close to www.GoldenSandsResort.com

Dated: May 12, 2013 - Mother's Day

                                                         
                       Happy Mother's day from Golden Sands Resort on Lake George

It's May 12th, 2013, and Mother's Day here at Lake George, NY.  How did it all start?  Being born? No ... But Yes!  Mother's Day celebrates and honors our mothers and the positive maternal influences moms had upon us and society.  While Mother's Day is celebrated though out the world, the official celebration started here in the United States in the early 20th century.

In other countries, Mother' Day is associated with historical celebrations in during Greek and Roman eras, and then, Christian Mother's Sunday.  Whatever its origin and older traditions, the day has become synonymous with 'mom(s)!'

Mother's Day at Lake George, NY celebrates by enjoying a Lake George steamship ride from lake George Village north, a spring walk in the park, then off to that special Lake George restaurant where mom(s) receive the best possible restaurant table, flowers, dessert, and, of course ... a Lake George Mother's Day restaurant discount!

While modern day Mother's Day appears to have been first celebrated around 1908, in West Virginia, the holiday became commercialized in the 1920's, although historically, Mother's Day in the United States existed during the 1870's and 1880's.

This www.GoldenSandsResort.com Mother's Day Blog is dedicated to my two mothers, and of course Liz!  Happy Mother's day from Golden Sands Resort on Lake George, New York!

Love, Bob        Golden Sands Resort beach and views of Lake George

Spring, 2013 - Cardinal and "Ice Out"

                                                     
Spring at Lake George, New York is a special time when the lake completely thaws!  Known as "Ice-Out," it's a celebration of spring, and the unofficial start to some of summer!  Spring is also known as "mud season," a time in the Lake George-Adirondack mountains when the ground also thaws, so bring your boots for hiking Lake George mountain trails!

Spring follows winter as one of the four northeast seasons, and by time winter ends, and spring begins, many are ready for more temperate weather, sunshine, outdoor activities, and of course, Lake George fishing.

The spring equinox brings longer days, and symbolic concepts of rejuvenation, bringing colorful spring flowers and the budding of trees and bushes.

Spring also represents the increased tilt of the Earth relative to the Sun adding increased daylight and warmth leading to summer, a time families head to lake George, New York for family vacation time, Lake George-Adirondack peace and quiet, and family gatherings!

www.GoldenSandsResort.com is a "Family Atmosphere" resort motel located directly on the shores of beautiful Lake George, New York!  We offer comfortable lakeview rooms with 15 mile views, free kayaks, and we're only 3 miles to Lake George Village!

           Bringing a Boat to Lake George, NY?
                                   
                                     

                               We Love Lake George, New York!

And we don't necessarily mean our favorite recreational kayak or canoe!  Good old Lake George, NY, a favorite travel-tourism destination for nearly forever, certainly 'popular' since the as far back as the1800's, like any other crystal-clear Adirondack body of water has experience growing pains!  While our favorite 'family-atmosphere' lake, Lake George, New York, USA, located only 200 miles from New York City, and 170 miles from Montreal Canada, is close by, so are other bodies of water where visitors to Lake George berth their boats and enjoy the joys of power boating, sailing, jet skiing, fishing and other watercraft-based recreation.

Recently, lovers of Lake George, NY, individuals, government agencies, and water-keepers have begun the proactive campaign to bring to public awareness our responsibility to self-inspect and check incoming boats and watercraft to Lake George, as a body of water and ecological-system, for "Aquatic Hitchhikers."  What's an "Aquatic Hitchhiker?"  Just about anything that's not indigenous and native to Lake George, NY.  "Aquatic Hitchhikers," such as foreign marine plants and small "Asian Clams," and other species, "stow away" in propellers, boat trailers, bilges, and just about any tiny place, whether obvious or not, until they're inadvertently introduced, released, settled and domiciled in the waters of Lake George, NY.

What are we getting at here?  Simply put, if you're bringing a boat or watercraft to Lake George, NY, please inspect it prior to its launch in order to ensure no "Aquatic Hitchhikers" find their way to Lake George, NY.  Lake George hotels, motels and cabin complexes with docking and berthing facilities post general guidelines to comply, and offer boat washing stations and points of informal inspection, to help ensure "Aquatic Hitchhikers" don't find their way into the lake.

Local government agencies, such as the Lake George Park Commission, and Lake George Association, provide these guideline and tutorial posters in their effort to help.  They routinely inspect, and monitor the water quality of Lake George, and when discovered, remove and remedy aquatic hitchhikers and invasive aquatic species inadvertently introduced through recreational boating.

             Help Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers - Lake George, NY.

US Labor Day's inception is arguable as to exactly who first proposed the holiday; however, what's clear is that Oregon in 1887 was the first state to officially adopt and celebrate US Labor Day, followed by thirty+ other states as the holiday because official ca. 1894.

"The Festival for the Workers" and street parades celebrate to exhibit strength and spirit of trade and labor organizations.  Originally the holiday was formed to help reconcile strike and labor movements, today celebrated by all Americans as symbolizing the end of summer!  Labor Day also flags the start of NFL and other football sports seasons.
