It has a bit of a ghost town feel, like all the people that were working in logging and tourism up there got foreclosed on and left over the last 20 years. What do you do for work that allows you to live there?
I spent all weekend looking at Whiteface while putting a chimney on the roof of my new house, thought I could see you over that way in the quantum.

That's exactly what it's like! It's nuts. This house is in Vermontville, NY and if you drive 20 minutes south to Saranac Lake or Lake Placid things are just hoppin! Literally the minute you leave either of those city lines it turns quiet and there is nothing around, but trees and old run down buildings/homes.
According to my place of employment I'm a "Design Engineer". My company is the leading supplier of battery monitoring systems which help people keep batteries for reserve power systems used by large data centers, military sites, ect in check to avoid severe failure. My job is to analyze the customers particular battery string(s) and then design a system based around one of the products we sell which will accurately monitor the voltage, impedance and temperature of each cell without being effected by loads of electromagnetic noise.
I'm not really an engineer though. I don't have a degree in engineering so I hate that they call me that lol. But I do all my work on the computer so I have the ability to work from home. So being that it'll be a few years before I move up here full time, I'll have some time to work out a deal with them to let me work from home like 3 weeks out of the month and then be in the office for 1 week.
And you probably could have seen me and heard me in the Quantum blasting up and over Whiteface

Some legit winters up there, for the east coast at least!
Thanks man! And yeah I know, I'm very excited for that especially to blast around on my dead end road in the Quantum in the snow!
