Crown Point, NY
Crown Point Public Campground is located at 784 Bridge Road, Crown Point, NY 12928. This campground is located on the southern edge of the 281,600 acre Lake Champlain and right on the New York / Vermont border. Crown Point rests over battlefields and fort locations dating back to 1775, remnants of the old forts can still be seen. In the campground you will also find a beautiful lighthouse and fishing pier, both seem to be the main draw of the campground. A boat launch ramp is also located inside the campground so, if boating is your thing, this is a great place to stay. The rate to camp here is $17 a nite and reservations can be made through reserve america.
The Lighthouse
The Crown Point website shows many sites that you would think to be waterside or lake front camping, but only few sites even have water front views. Sites 1-10 are they only sites with a clear view to the water but a fence (and a steep hill) block access to the water from your site.

Its easy to overindulge when camping. S’mores are just so delicious and hamburgers and hot dogs are so much fun to cook over the open fire. Here are some ideas for healthier camping food options…
The easiest thing to do is take a look and see if you can find lower calorie versions of the food you would normally take. Replace fatty cuts of meat with leaner cuts, hamburgers with turkey burgers, find lower fat hot dogs, baked potato chips or pretzels rather than greasy chips. Beef jerky is a great healthy camping food most are 97% fat free. Don’t forget your veggies too, many are very very tasty cooked over the open fire.

First I want let you know this is not going to be a technical review (go to stevesdigicams if you want that), this is going to be a review that I feel the average shopper can find useful…
I bought this camera because I wanted something I could take hiking, camping, kayaking, and use every day and not have to worry about it. The Stylus SW line is a water proof line of cameras. The 1050 is water proof up to 10 feet and can be used in temperatures below freezing. The 1030sw is good to 33 feet and adds a shock rating to withstand falls from 6 feet. But you will have to spend about a hundred extra bucks for the features.

Welcome to my blog. My name – Jim. I have decided to share my journey of dramatic weight loss as I hike through the local mountains in New England. I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts where hiking trails were abundant and beautiful. Needless to say, hiking soon became a favorite activity of mine. But, like most young adults, life was moving fast and the time to enjoy the trails began to diminish. Along with the poor eating habits that developed, I began to really pack on my weight.
I wasn’t myself. I was tired, so tired. Because I really enjoy hiking, geocaching, biking, kayaking, camping and outdoor adventures, I didn’t want my weight to be an issue any more. I am inviting all of those who enjoy the outdoors or/and are overweight to follow my adventures. Who knows where we’ll end up!
My adventures, here on these pages I will be sharing all my adventures in this journey. Hikes I go on, awesome food I cook, camping trips, gear I buy, reviews, pictures, rants and raves, you know the usual.
