The eagle has landed!!! And it happens to be
here in the Adirondacks. Our days are spent with the Pete Nye

ADIRONACK WOMEN GUIDES
We continue our mantra of dedicating one show
to the growing numbers of women in the wilderness. We travel with
3 dedicated women guides as they apply their trade and find out
what got them into this business and what keeps them going. From
back country canoeing to white water rafting to rock climbing
these 3 women and many others like them can do it all.

NO CHILD LEFT INSIDE
I was shocked to find
out that children of today spend more than 40 hours a week inside
Watching TV, the Internet or with video games. Join us as we show
you how to get those kids outside by blending the natural world
with the great outdoors! This is truly a special and heart warming
show.

PLANES, TRAINS,
AUTOMOBILES AND MORE - THE LEAF PEEPER SHOW
To many people ride along in their cars to view
the tremendous Adirondack fall color
display. We will show you that that is not the only way to enjoying
this special time of year. Get ready to strap yourself in to the

AVALANCHE
PREPAREDNESS IN THE BACKCOUNTRY
Snow avalanches only occur out west right? Think
again. How many people realize there have been 15 snow avalanches
in the Park since 1975 with one in 2002 having deadly consequences?
We travel with a DEC Forest Ranger to Avalanche Pass in the High
Peaks to discuss avalanche awareness. Next we talk with 2 avid
“slide skiers/snowboarders” of these areas and finish
with an interview with an ice rescue instructor as she shows us
what to do if you fall through the ice. Here is a tip, it is the
opposite of what you think!

BUYING
LAND AND BUILDING A HOME IN THE ADIRONDACK PARK-PART 1
This is the first of a two part show and in this
show we highlight the importance of doing your homework and following
the steps we outline if you plan on purchasing land and/or building
a home here in the Park. It is certainly not like in your local
area as here you have to work with the Adirondack Park Agency
(who has jurisdiction over everything here in the Park), the Department
of Environmental Conservation as well as the Adirondack Land Trust/Nature
Conservancy and then your local town you may be in. While this
all may seem quite daunting it is necessary and we will walk you
through it. We will also go on a “saw dust” tour at
the Original Lincoln Logs factory in Chestertown NY. And set the
stage for the next show

BUILDING THAT LOG
HOME OF YOUR DREAMS PART 2
On this show we will go through the same process
we went through when we selected Lincoln Logs as our home supplier.
We will meet the people there and walk through the steps from
concept, design, delivery and construction of our log home. When
they say at Lincoln Logs “we don’t just deliver you
a home we deliver you your dream” they mean it as this is
truly a dream come true. We will take you on a “this new
house” tour from design and actual construction and completion
We will meet with the builder and work with them as they constructs
our log home.
You will want to stay with us through both shows.

RETURN TO THE SALMON
RIVER
After an unbelievable day last season on the Salmon
River near Malone we head back with Guide Nick Coppola of Jones
Outfitters in Lake Placid to see if we can do it again. We put
a ;little twist in this show as we try and take the mystery out
of flyfishing by focusing on the basics of casting and reading
water. We also bring to light a very real threat to every river
in New York State and elsewhere, Didymo, otherwise known as Rock
Snot.

INTERNATIONAL PAPERS JOHN DILLON
PARK
This show
is very dear to us in that it provides the disabled with an opportunity
to get out and fully enjoy the wild Adirondacks we often speak
about.
If I had to describe one show we have done that will
hopefully touch the lives of many viewers it is this one as we
travel to just north of Long Lake to visit a very special place.
Until recently a real wilderness experience was inaccessible to
people with disabilities but not any more. International Paper,
Paul Smiths College, the Town of Long Lake and the State of New
York work together to realize the dream of former International
Paper Chairman John T. Dillon’s vision for an Adirondack
wilderness accessible to everyone with the opening of International
Papers John Dillon Park. It is the first wilderness area in the
country that is designed specifically for people with disabilities
and their caregivers and it is an absolutely incredible place.
