Woke up at 5 AM to reach Lake Placid for the Total Solar Eclipse, avoiding traffic for a good parking spot. Spent the day enjoying the town, checking out all the events they had going on, and shopping before the eclipse.
Despite the long, eventful day, I chose Lake Placid over Buffalo, enduring the same 6-hour drive home without stops though. (Photos)

With snow still coming cold and heavy, I extended my original 24-hour Lake Placid hockey adventure for an additional night. Departing after the 5 PM Championship game now seemed ill-advised.
So after breakfast, I decided to head to Mt. Van Hoevenberg where a World Cup Bobsledding event was happening. The perks of being in an Olympic town, there are always some winter activities going on. (Photos)
Hockey in a Northern Town – ECAC Championships in Lake Placid
