Recommendation for Adirondacks
Hello all,
I am planning a drive from New Jersey to upstate NY, particularly where the Adirondacks are located (granted this is a pretty huge area).
I know it's quite a bit of a drive, but from what I've seen online it would most definitely be worth it.
I would be doing this trip on Thanksgiving day, a sunny day (hopefully) according to intellicast.com.
Please let me know your recommendations, i.e., have to done this kind of a trip before? Is it a good time to travel, etc?
Any and all comments will be helpful.
Thanks.

I'd head up the Northway aka I-87. From the Albany area, it's 2 1/2 hours (150 Minutes) to Lake Placid NY. Watch out of the NY State Troopers, who do enforce traffic laws. 
Are you doing this trip in one day? If not, there are several hotels in town. LP also has plenty of things to do. Google Lake Placid.
If you're meandering, you can drive the backroads from LP south, back to Utica. From Utica take I-90 east to Albany. Then, 87 south.
If you could be more specific....

On your way up, stop by at White Lake Polaris and say hello to my sister-in-law, Debbie, for me

Thanks, dhammer53. Yes, it would have been a day trip, but unfortunately,
, the weather did not cooperate as I was hoping. So this trip will have to wait.

Thanks, tazi. I'm noting all of these stops. I have read about Lake Placid, and seen the pictures online,
, and I can't wait to take this trip.
