   Here is a link to a very interesting article in the Adirondack Almanack discussing the use of e-bikes, including use on forest preserve land.  I purchased my second e-bike 2 years ago, and absolutely love it. I find it fun to ride, and it's a great alternative to driving 12 miles to work and back on a nice day.
    What are your thoughts?

34 active days on market.  Multiple offers. Congratulations Evan and Stanzi.  I wish you many years of enjoying your new home.

   I am always saying how lucky I am to meet wonderful people in my business.  
  I helped Rachel buy her home in Lake Placid in 2013, and we have been friends since.  Actually, my whole family became friends with Rachel, along with her son Jacob, and daughter Savannah.
   This past summer,  Rachel was kind enough to be a bridesmaid in my youngest daughter's wedding.
   Life has taken Rachel in a new and exciting direction, and she asked me to help sell her home.
   Rachel, we love you and will miss you.  Please know that you're always welcome at our home, anytime.
   Onward and upward.
