The trip from Colgate to LP is on the order of five hours, no matter what
way you go.  Cornell is an hour and 15 minutes from Hamilton, so I would
guess the trip from there would be about six hours.  The basic fact remains
that  Lake Placid is a really nice place to visit for a few days, and I have
really looked forward to going there the last two years.  From a practicality
point of view, someplace further south does a better job of equallizing the
driving distances, and may be less expensive, but must we always be practical?
