Title: North Country Road Trip
Post by: JDeafv on January 12, 2007, 11:16:40 AM
Anybody else actually going to the games this weekend?  

Kate and I will be there with Age and Anne.  

Hopefully we'll see anybody else who makes the oh-so-long trip from Ithaca.

Because four hours is just such a drag...  hey, at least the weather looks nice for you guys to be driving up in as far as I know.  When I came back to campus on Tuesday it was like driving through a blizzard for about an hour. :-( Hopefully none of you hit that and we can have a fun Cornell contingent to banter with.  I believe a small contingent of your pep band will be making the trip as well -- kudos to them for coming even though classes haven't started yet.

He was being sarcasting. It's 3.5 hours if you go the speed limit. Considerably less for many. Other than Albany (and Colgate) this is the closest trip and I'm always disappointed to see how few Faithful make it. There may not be much to do, but I love the atmosphere at the games.

I'll be there for both games.  It's a short drive from Sackets Harbor!

Ok, so maybe you forgot I'm from the Ithaca area, but it was 4 hours for me this trip due to inclement weather, and I really hope none of you hit it... that's more what I was getting at.

What he said, I think (thank you urban dictionary).  :)

My favorite roadie, even including Bright.  There's something about it that freaks people out -- I never went as a student, but it is much closer than the east swing.

There are things to do but you do have to make some effort to find them, perhaps a road trip to the Eisenhower locks for example, o rthe Thousand Islands.

Will be there for the Clarkson game but not SLU(t).  Just called the clarkson ticket office today and got the ticket.  Looking forward to this one.

As for things to do, go spend some time in the Adirondacks.  If you all bring your skis you could stop at Placid and ski Ice Face or some other ski area in between.
