Lyndsey, our granddaughter and member of the "Crazy Gray Squirrels" and I decided to take Glory up to Ballston Spa today! Ballston Spa is the birthplace of Abner Doubleday of Baseball History and a quaint little village filled with antique stores and cute shops.. What were we thinking? It topped out at 95 degrees today! Even a stop at the Historic Old Iron Spring didn't cool us off! The water actually tastes pretty "yucky" ,but Glory gave it a try!
The Spring has been in existence since 1900 and is still producing water. We then went on the fitness trail to find The Old Iron Spring Letterbox, the picture of the trees (below) was taken to show how high up we were. If you look closely, you'll see a smoke stack from the old Chocolate factory in the picture . The Chocolate Factory is now a restaurant! Well... as the heat got to us and we searched high and low for the elusive box, we had to give up! We did have a nice walk together . We then headed to the Coffee Planet, a local coffee shop, for some Lemonade and Iced Tea and to retrieve the Celestial Cuppa Letterbox! Success was ours and it was air conditioned. We decided it was to hot to continue Letterboxing and opted to shop instead! We'll go out again soon though.
