All Things Joey
We scheduled TWO boating trips during our stay at Lake George this year (book at least a month in advance).
It was fortunate that we did schedule two trips because the first tour had terrible weather. This trip was much better and it gave us a chance to do some cliff jumping.
Captain Joe did a great job and I highly recommend Lake George Island Boat Tours (518-469-8745).
Note: All filming was captured on a GoPro 7
We did it again (and we will do it another time after this).
We rented a pontoon boat on Lake George and had ourselves a little adventure thanks to Lake George Island Boat rentals (shout out to Captain Dave in this video).
The weather on this day was not the best… it was grey and cold… but we made the best of it and had a good time anyway!
My family and friends booked a river tubing adventure in the Lake George Area.
The weather was nice (which wasn’t the case for most of the week) and it was a relaxing time.
We visited another WW2-era structure in the Cape May area. This building is Fire Control Tower #23.
According to Cape May MAC:
Built in 1942, the tower was one of 15 towers that helped aim batteries of coastal artillery, stretching from North Wildwood, N.J. to Bethany Beach, Del. Four were in Cape May County, N.J.—the towers located in North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest were torn down and a third tower is located inside Cape May’s Grand Hotel, Beach and Philadelphia avenues. Fire Control Tower No. 23 is on land now part of the Cape May Point State Park.
Due to somewhat longer lines and unexpected crowding, we opted not to go inside the structure, but like most things back then… it was built to last… so maybe next time.
We visited the WW2-era concrete bunker at Cape May Point. Built in 1942, it is amazing the thing is still standing, but it does have 6 ft thick concrete walls designed to take a battle ship blast.
The bunker was built to protect the coast from Germans should the United States be invaded during WW2.
After the war, the bunker was decommissioned and used as a military radio center during the 1950’s.
The local government does not allow access inside the structure, but with those thick walls, I wouldn’t expect a cell signal in that thing.
My family and Team Gorcka went to Cape May this weekend to just get away and I have been itching to do some outdoor video projects.
This first video of a little series and it covers our visit to Beach Plum Farm. We had some breakfast and bought bread and jams for later.
Ben also met a chicken.
