Awwwww! You scooped me!! LOL
I tried to fit him into my plans on the way back from Lake George awhile back. I got lost and it was late so I gave in. I never did make it back up there to snag a pic!

He’s pretty neat. You can really tell from the pics but he is HUGE. He kind of looms over the building sitting alone in the skyline. Pretty neat.
When you go see him you can stop and have lunch at the Miss Albany Diner which is like a 1/4 mile down the block. Their only open until 2:15(!) everyday, though.
