Here's part of a NY Times article about timberland investments. SQUARE FEET: VENTURES; For Some Investors, Money Grows on Trees
By VIVIAN MARINO (NYT); Money and Business/Financial Desk
Late Edition - Final, Section 3, Page 24, Column 1, 1231 words
DISPLAYING ABSTRACT - WHEN a tree falls in a forest, chances are that it can be heard all the way to Wall Street, and throughout other financial circles as well. Once the exclusive province of businesses and individual land owners, timberland is being held increasingly by big institutions -- from pension funds ...
Timberland is being held increasingly by big institutions from pension funds to university endowments because timberland investments can be a hedge against inflation and lacks a correlation with stocks and bonds.
Timberland investments also show solid returns between sales to lumber and paper companies complimented by long-term gains on the property itself, the article said.

"Gov. George Pataki, down to his final weeks in office, announced plans Friday (12/15/2006) for a $7 million expansion of the state-run Gore Mountain Ski Center that will enable the Johnsburg attraction to boast having the eighth-largest vertical drop in the eastern United States.
The state will spend an additional $3 million to complete the railroad line connection between Saratoga Springs and North Creek.
Skiers from Saratoga Springs, as well as the Albany and New York City areas, will be able to take the train to North Creek and leave their personal vehicles at home, Pataki said". I've posted the full story below, but here's a link to a pdf file with pictures and an additional story about the project that was published a year ago on November 13, 2005 http://www.adkland.com/GoreExpansion.pdf

Public access to nearby Garnet Lake, as well as Crane,
Mud and Round Ponds, all offer unique wilderness experiences in fishing,
camping, canoeing and swimming that you just don't find on bigger
motorboat lakes.

Here's what Tracks
& Trails had to say about Garnet Hill Lodge:
An Insider's
guide to the best Cross Country Skiing in the Northeast
By Christopher
Leggett & Woden Teachout
"Cross
Country Skiing at Garnet Hill in the Adirondacks has the easy flow of moving
water. Smooth, wide trails slope outward and downward from the lodge, following
the path of least resistance... Shuttle buses saved the day. Now you can
ski happily to the far reaches of the trail system, secure in the knowledge
that you won't have to struggle back up."
The Land: This land is your land & this land is my
land -sure- but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway. Bob

Voice & the Jingle Jangle Morning" (1970).
