📰 News we're reading

1. Saranac Lake girls cross country run to first title since 2010 (lakeplacidnews.com) — Saranac Lake’s girls cross-country team won its first sectional title since 2010, led by Meadow Nashett’s first-place finish in Class D. Seven Red Storm runners finished in the class’s top 10, and eight teammates will head to the state championships at Queensbury High School on Nov. 14.
   

2. New 700-mile Adirondack motorcycle loop takes the roads less traveled (adirondackexplorer.org) — Saranac Lake is on a 700-mile motorcycle loop designed to draw riders onto the Adirondacks’ less-traveled roads and into small towns. Launched in May, the Adirondacks BDR-X combines paved backroads with dirt and gravel stretches. A Westport innkeeper reports benefits from visiting riders, while organizers emphasize responsible riding and respect for residents.
   

3. New sign celebrated post-'Day of Action" (lakeplacidnews.com) — A colorful new sign at Tupper Lake’s Aaron Maddox Hall celebrates a volunteer effort that drew more than 100 people, including participants from Saranac Lake. Dedicated after ADK Action’s first Day of Action, the community-painted artwork is a lasting piece of a broader effort to improve local gathering places.
   

4. Brewing Northeast storm to bring mostly rain, but higher-elevation snow (newsbreak.com) — Saranac Lake could get a slushy coating to a few inches of wet snow as a storm crosses the Northeast Thursday night through Saturday, according to AccuWeather. Accumulation will depend on elevation and temperatures, with heavier snow on the highest Adirondack terrain potentially breaking limbs and causing isolated power outages.
   

5. Best Places To Spot A Moose In The Adirondacks (wblk.com) — Saranac Lake and the Route 3 corridor through Vermontville appear among suggested places to look for moose in the Adirondacks, according to Adirondack.com. Sightings are far from guaranteed: the state DEC estimates New York has fewer than 1,000 moose, and vehicle collisions are a significant cause of their deaths.
