Adirondack Life

Take the Great Adirondack Life Challenge

Sometimes we need a little nudge. Our first Adirondack Life Challenge, in 2019, was a lot of fun—and not just for our readers. It was a blast looking at all those pictures of families living park-perfect summers. (We were especially tickled by your visionary recipes for wacky new s’mores—S’morito, anyone?) Adirondack Life(rs) came through again in 2021, posing next to phone booths, sporting lumberjack beards—real or an “interpretation”—even howling at the moon. But then 2023 came and went without a biennial reboot. We forgot to frolic.

The Schaller family, of Virginia and Ohio, was having none of it. They wrote in, explaining how much their clan had Challenge patch. See page 36 for details.
