Adirondack Ike

INTRODUCTION
If you have a story from way back when pertaining to life around the Great Sacandaga Lake area please submit it to us and we would love to put it up.

"HI-N-DRI" at Brooks Bay home of Ira
"Adirondack Ike" Gray

As the great niece of Ira Gray of the town of Day, NY, I have very fond memories of my great Uncle Ike also known as "Adirondack Ike". Ira Gray was born in 1886 near Jenny Lake and died in 1982 at the ripe old age of 96. He lived in a small home known as "Hi-N-Dri" near Brooks Bay ( "Brooks" a family name on his mother's side) with a sign that read " Welcome friends - no strangers here". A dedication was made by the Saratoga 2000 Committee regarding his home and a plaque and post are proudly featured on the lawn depicting Ira Gray's life and commitment.

He was well known as a farmer, wagon driver, guide, forest ranger, trapper, hunter, woodsman, carpenter.. and was instrumental in building many camps on Sacandaga Lake, having lived in his earlier years before Sacandaga Lake was just farm land. Uncle Ike traveled through out the beautiful Adirondacks and Canada, where he hunted animals both large and small.. which included moose, bear, deer, rabbits and squirrels.

Uncle Ike was proud of his ancestry.. from relatives traveling over on the Mayflower to serving in the Revolutionary War.. and whereby relatives first settled in the Sacandaga area over 200 years ago..and now where current relatives carry on the legacy.
