To the left is the Olympic flame from tjhe 1980 winter Olympics held here in Lake Placid. Our tent site is only 200 yards away and the flame is lit at night with just a small electric bulb. Of course, Olympic flames are now much more elaborate than the ones used 30 years ago. To the right are the two ski jumps that we can see from our camp area. They are like huge creatures reaching into the sky. Having never experienced skiing, I cannot imagine going off one of those towers and being airborne! Yet, some people may not comprehend riding a bi9cycle down a mountain side like we do at 50 miles an hour!
