Summer Starts Early at Covewood

Big Moose Lake, NY, (May 14, 2004) Summer has already begun at Covewood, well ahead of the Summer Solstice. Of course, many people are convinced that summer in the Adirondacks starts around July 17 and ends a few hours later, but at Covewood we know it starts when Di takes her first dip in Big Moose Lake and lasts as long as there are summer guests. The good news is that Di's Dip this year was the second earliest on record, making this summer the second longest in Covewood's history. On Friday, May 14, Di entered South Bay and swam five strokes out and five back. She performed the requisite head-dunk before repairing to the main dock, marking the official start of Big Moose Summer.

Play the Famous Covewood Ring Game Online

For decades the Covewood Ring Game has been a favorite game of guests, sparking rivalries amongst family members and between cottages. If you're a veteran wishing to relive this Lodge porch past-time, or if you're a newbie wanting some pre-vacation practice, then you'll be happy to know the game is now online (you should have Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or better; Netscape browsers play at your own risk -- be patient while the images load). Good luck.
