1. Golden Beach, Southwest Adirondack Region

Golden beach is located on Raquette Lake. This spot is truly a gem, offering 205 campsites to enjoy s'mores by your cozy campfire under the stars and a beautiful swimming beach this campground is very family friendly. Kayaking, a boat launch, showers, handicapped accessibilities, hiking and fishing are all available at Golden Beach. And of course, plenty of opportunities to view that gorgeous Adirondack sunset we all love with the company of the little critters who inhabit this campground.


2. Taughannock Falls State Park, Finger Lakes Region

Taughannock Falls, located near Cayuga Lake is not only a great day trip and an easy hike for all ages to enjoy but it also offers tent and cabin campsites. There is also a marina, canoe and kayak rentals, a boat launch, and a swimming beach. There are many different trails around the whole gorge. Providing many different views of this spectacular waterfall. It is definitely a piece of this Earth you won't want to miss.


3. Brown Tract Pond, Southwest Adirondack Region


I have been visiting Brown Tract Pond since I was very little; it has been a part of our family for generations. This beauty is tucked away in the Adirondacks, just off Uncas Road. This campground holds 90 campsites that offer the utmost of privacy. Well-forested and relaxing, this is truly a get away. Tent and RV sites are available as well as canoeing, boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, bicycling, and hiking. After a long day of these activities it is just a short 2 miles into the town of Raquette lake to visit the general store where you can enjoy ice cream, fresh baked goods and a sunset view along the boat launch.

In this life it is so important to stop and enjoy the little things, especially the ones that are given to us by Mother Nature herself. Remember to appreciate all that is around you at every moment and to try not to get distracted with all that is happening around us...always look up.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
