Focus on What You Want, Not What You Don’t Want...

Energy flows where attention goes. You can focus your thoughts and energy on the desired outcomes, not the obstacles. By staying positive and solution-oriented, you’ll naturally attract the experiences that align with your highest good.

Here's today's PHOTO OF THE DAY!!! To celebrate Halloween, we're sharing a selection of our favorite haunting tales from across the region!!! This incredible image, captured by Adirondacks by Air, shows a stunning contrast between the magnificent fall foliage, and the hulking grey structures in the foreground. Looming stark and empty above the small town of Lyon Mountain, New York, these crumbling buildings were once part of the vast iron mining operations here. The large building in the center, known as "Mill No. 3," was built in 1917 and also served as a powerhouse, supplying compressed air to run equipment in the maze of shafts below. Once perched atop a barren moonscape of ore tailings, these old buildings actually stand on a thick layer of cast-off material, separated from the valuable ore. The bricks which were used in their construction were even made of it. Opened in the late 19th Century, the mines were run by the "Chateaugay Ore and Iron Company," and quickly made huge fortunes for their owners, Andrew Williams and Smith W**d of Plattsburgh. By 1902, surveys discovered that the veins of ore at Lyon Mountain were six miles long and 70 feet thick (estimated at some 500 million tons), making it one of the largest and richest deposits in the World. At its height, material from Lyon Mountain contributed to the construction of the famous Brooklyn, George Washington, and Golden Gate Bridges. Deaths were frequent and over the years, 160 men met their end toiling down below. Later purchased by Republic Steel, the mines ultimately became some of the deepest in the Country, stretching some 3,500 feet beneath the town. The immense depth helped drive up costs, eventually leading to the closure of the mines in 1967. Today these deteriorating reminders are all that remain.

Thank you, Ty Torres.
