Where Uncle Al stayed

Truth, truth. I was up there in early September one year and almost froze. I'm told they still have good midwinter parties up there. In the 1900s there were a lot of TB sanatoriums in the area; the cold clean air was good for the lungs. Al Capone used to visit his tubercular brother at Saranac Lake.

Saranac

If ever a place needed a mid-winter festival it's Saranac! The Icehole of the Northeast.
