in All Encompassing Trip
in honor of spring time, and to coincide with my search for some quality deck furniture, this thread is all adirondack chair, all the time.

because, let's face it; it's the best chair to kick back and relax on whilst enjoying a cold frosty beverage of your choice in the spring/summer time. so god bless the adirondack chair and my god continue to bless the united states of america...and nobody else:

    The first Adirondack chair was designed by Thomas Lee while vacationing in Westport, New York, in the Adirondack Mountains in 1903. Needing outdoor chairs for his summer home, he tested his early efforts on his family. After arriving at a final design for a "Westport plank chair," he offered it to a carpenter friend in Westport in need of a winter income, Harry Bunnell.[citation needed] Bunnell saw the commercial potential of such an item being offered to Westport's summer residents, and apparently without asking Lee's permission filed for and received U.S. patent #794,777 in 1905.[3] Bunnell manufactured hemlock plank "Westport chairs" for the next twenty years, painted in green or medium dark brown, and individually signed by him.

    Originally the chair was called the Westport Plank Chair, but was renamed the Adirondack Chair after the mountain range Westport is located in; the Adirondacks.

    We love ours. They're made out of recycled plastic milk containers and they've lasted forever.

    That is a thing of beauty right there, my friend. Looks like you have a nice, well kept lawn too. Tally ho!

    I like the looks of this one.

    I've never sat in one. But they remind me of LL Bean or Life is Good stuff.

    But I'm sure those Adirondacks are nifty.

    They have a nice motion to them, though. Not quite like a rocker but very relaxing. I-)

    Most people in Texas don't really have furniture like that. Just old hippies like me.

    A fine question. For the record, I would like to add the Baseball Hall of Fame, Ommegang Brewery, Spiedies (JP can attest to this), potato chips and chicken nuggets.

    I am sure there is also a bunch of useful stuff, but I prefer the indulgences.
