One of my favorite pastimes is taking friends out on Lake George and telling them about what they're seeing. As time went on I began forgetting more than I was remembering and decided to write it all down. While doing so, I thought that maybe other people would like that information also, so I wrote a book with over 120 points of interest, color photos and locator maps.
If you'd like to know more visit www.CaptainPaulGuide.com and please share it with anyone who would be interested in knowing more about Lake George. Thanks. Paul Rutherford |
