Epic Journey: Newfoundland: This issue we head to Canada and share the travel adventures of a 10-day journey around "The Rock." For anyone who has wanted to travel to Newfoundland, this story may help you learn when and where to go and how to find the best adventures. Enjoy the journey. 44 Magic on the moose : Paddling on an Adirondack river in the fall is one of the best ways to see the changing colors. On the Moose River however, you'll not only have the leaves to enjoy but also the many colorful whitewa- ter kayaks. Moosefest is three days of whitewater kayaking, ranging from class II to V. It's also a great spectator event and there are sev- eral access points from which to watch kayakers run the rapids and drop off waterfalls. 52 LOCAL Roots: Adirondack Food Stories: Food grown locally plays an important role in the Adirondack econ- omy as more and more farms are sprouting up in the region. We aim to bring you stories about local farmers, local chefs, and local restaurants that are creating menus that focus on the Farm to Table philosophy. 56 Writing in the woods: The Adirondack Writing Center hosts the Anne LaBastille Writing Residency for a few chosen authors each fall. This residency creates a quiet, inspirational, and even "magical" setting in which writers can focus on creating their written art. Twitchell Lake Lodge, sur- rounded by woods and water, played host last year and we asked two writers to share their experience. 60 Festival of Lights, cameras, action!: The Lake Placid Film Festival is getting a fresh start with new dates, October 25-28, and a focus on diversity. This year's films will cover culture, class, gender, and race. The Festival has evolved in order to encourage a wide range of people to take advantage of the many great films and discussions that will be featured. 64
