It begins at [[U.S. Route 9 in New York|U.S. Route&amp;nbsp;9]] (US&amp;nbsp;9) and proceeds eastward, ending at a ferry landing on [[Lake Champlain]]. It intersects two county routes, several local roads, and a [[reference route (New York)|reference route]]—'''NY&amp;nbsp;912T'''—which connects it with US&amp;nbsp;9. NY&amp;nbsp;373 is the only connector between US&amp;nbsp;9 and the hamlet of [[Port Kent, New York|Port Kent]] and the ferry that serves it.<br /> <br /> The hamlet of Port Kent and the connecting road were originally built in 1823. The village was planned to act as a source of labor for iron manufacturing and to provide for the industrial needs of Essex County. The hamlet grew and eventually became connected to [[Burlington, Vermont]], via an hour-long ferry across Lake Champlain. The road that accessed Port Kent originally began in Keeseville, but became part of the longer [[Port Kent and Hopkinton Turnpike]] in the 1830s. The highway that is now NY&amp;nbsp;373 was also designated as part of the [[Theodore Roosevelt International Highway]] in 1919.<br /> <br /> When NY&amp;nbsp;373 was designated in 1930, a small portion of it was maintained by the town of [[Chesterfield, New York|Chesterfield]]. This section was turned over to [[New York (state)|the State of New York]] during a maintenance swap with Essex County in 1985.<br /> <br /> ==Route description==<br /> NY&amp;nbsp;373, located entirely within Adirondack State Park, begins at [[U.S. Route 9 in New York|US&amp;nbsp;9]] at the [[Ausable Chasm, New York|Ausable Chasm]], a deep, wooded canyon in the town of [[Chesterfield, New York|Chesterfield]]. The route intersects with NY&amp;nbsp;912T, its southern connector to US&amp;nbsp;9, about {{convert|0.1|mi|m}} in. NY&amp;nbsp;373 continues farther along and intersects with [[County Route 71 (Essex County, New York)|County Route&amp;nbsp;71]] (CR&amp;nbsp;71) before heading east-southeast just north of the [[Ausable River (New York)|Ausable River]]. The highway then intersects [[County Route 17 (Essex County, New York)|CR&amp;nbsp;17]] and several local roads, and then turns east-northeast.&lt;ref name=&quot;google&quot;&gt;{{Google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&amp;q=from:+RT-373%20@44.527900,%20-73.45983+to:+RT-373%20@44.526450,%20-73.403290 |title=overview map of NY 373 |accessdate=May 29, 2008}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:NY 373 eastbound view.jpg|left|thumb|View east along NY&amp;nbsp;373 from near Bolton Acres campground|alt=A two-lane highway in a forested area on a clear day in early autumn.

The highway turns northward soon afterward, crosses a pair of train tracks maintained by [[Canadian Pacific Railway]] and the [[Port Kent (Amtrak station)|Port Kent]] [[Amtrak]] station, makes a U-turn and comes to an end at the [[Lake Champlain Transportation Company#Burlington-Port Kent|Burlington–Port Kent Ferry]] landing.&lt;ref name=&quot;google&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> The Burlington–Port Kent Ferry connects NY&amp;nbsp;373 and the hamlet of Port Kent to the city of [[Burlington, Vermont]].

The newly founded company chose the name &quot;Port Kent&quot; and located the new hamlet on a site north of Trembleau Point.

S. Barnes}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> NY&amp;nbsp;373 exists entirely within the boundaries of [[Adirondack Park]], a protected area maintained by the [[State of New York]]. Adirondack Park was created in the 1880s after concerns arose about logging trees in the area. The logging was a substantial part of New York's economy, but protests were lodged by ''[[The New York Times]]'' and others against the clearing of entire mountains and wilderness areas of trees. Public opinion turned firmly against the loggers by the 1880s, and the park was created in 1885. It was the first State Forest Preserve in America. The park was further protected in 1894 when a clause was added to the New York State constitution which banned the selling of timber from state parks.&lt;ref name=&quot;nhlsum&quot;&gt;{{cite web|url=http://tps.cr.nps.gov/nhl/detail.cfm?ResourceId=677&amp;ResourceType=Site |title=Adirondack Forest Preserve |date=November 1, 2007 |newspaper= |publisher=National Park Service |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071213050911/http://tps.cr.nps.gov/nhl/detail.cfm?ResourceId=677&amp;ResourceType=Site |archivedate=December 13, 2007 |df= }}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;nrhpinv2&quot;&gt;{{Cite journal|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination: Adirondack Forest Preserve|url={{NHLS url|id=66000891}} |format= PDF |date=February 7, 1976 |first=Richard |last=Greenwood |publisher=National Park Service}}.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.senate.state.ny.us/lbdcinfo/senconstitution.html|title=The Constitution of the State of New York|accessdate=August 25, 2008|publisher=New York State Senate|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080317183304/http://www.senate.state.ny.us/lbdcinfo/senconstitution.html|archivedate=March 17, 2008|df=}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Old roads and designation===<br /> {{See also|Port Kent and Hopkinton Turnpike}}<br /> [[File:NY 373 towards Lake Champlain.jpg|right|thumb|NY&amp;nbsp;373 heading eastbound with Lake Champlain in view|alt=A two-lane highway turns to the left as it approaches a body of water.

Cartoons|Leon Schlesinger Productions]] and released on December 20, 1941 by [[Warner Bros. Pictures]]. This is the first time one of several [[Bugs Bunny]] cartoon titles refers to [[Elmer Fudd]]'s speech impediment, making the names of [[Bob Clampett|Robert Clampett]], [[Sidney Sutherland|Sid Sutherland]], and [[Carl Stalling]] as well as the roles of Story, Supervision, and Musical Direction intentionally misspelled in the credits to receive the perfect match for Elmer's speech impediment.<br /> <br /> In the cartoon, Elmer expects to find rest and relaxation at Jellostone National Park, but he mistakenly sets camp in the neighborhood of Bugs' rabbit hole, and Bugs (and a neighboring bear) don't have much leisure in mind. It was the first Bugs Bunny &amp; Elmer Fudd cartoon directed by [[Bob Clampett|Robert Clampett]], with a story by Dave Monahan and musical direction by [[Carl Stalling]]. [[Sidney Sutherland|Sid Sutherland]] is the only credited animator, although [[Virgil Ross]], [[Rod Scribner]], and [[Robert McKimson]] also animated the short. [[Mel Blanc]] provided the voices for Bugs and the [[bear]], and [[Arthur Q. Bryan]] provided the voice for Elmer.<br /> <br /> ==Plot==<br /> Elmer, driving his [[Ford Model T]] [[jalopy]] to a [[Conga (music)|Conga]] beat, makes his way to Jellostone National Park (a pun on [[Yellowstone National Park]]) while looking forward to rest and relaxation. Elmer sets up his campsite by setting a fire to cook with, hanging a mirror on a tree and, beneath it, situating a wash basin on a table, hanging a hammock and, lastly, pitching his tent. The tent is positioned directly over Bugs Bunny's rabbit hole (just as Elmer had arrived, Bugs had posted a sign next to his hole saying 'Camp Here', then had retreated into the lair, covering it with grass as he went). From down there, Bugs unpitches and drags the tent inside. Elmer reaches in and, in spite of resistance from below, retrieves the tent although it is tied in knots. Bugs pops up, welcomes Elmer to Jellostone (&quot;a restful retreat. Oh brudda!&quot;) and pulls Elmer's hat over his eyes. Elmer reaches in again and tries to yank Bugs out; after several attempts, Elmer pulls his hands out to find that his fingers are tied together. He nails a board over the hole (&quot;that'll hold him awite, heh heh heh&quot;). However, Bugs simply pushes it open, steps out and mimics Elmer by ballooning up to Elmer's weight and repeating what Elmer had said, labeling it &quot;phooey&quot;. Elmer has settled into his hammock and quickly falls fast asleep, muttering to himself.<br /> <br /> Bugs places a pair of glasses on Elmer's face, paints the lenses black and sets the alarm clock to go off at twelve o'clock. When it wakes Elmer, he thinks it is night, since everything seems dark. He goes to his tent, takes off his day clothes to reveal night clothes underneath, and goes to sleep in bed. Bugs then removes the glasses from Elmer and crows like a rooster, awakening Elmer who now believes it is the next morning.<br /> <br /> Elmer washes his face but cannot reach his towel because it is hanging on a branch which Bugs keeps at a steady, short distance from him. Elmer blindly follows the towel (&quot;I do this kind of stuff to him all through the picture&quot;, Bugs [[Breaking the fourth wall|confides to the audience]]). He causes Elmer to step off a cliff edge. Elmer looks at the miraculous view of the [[Grand Canyon]], but suddenly realizes he is in midair. He runs back to safety and holds on to Bugs for dear life. Bugs then admits he is the one pulling these gags and runs off, with a furious Elmer giving chase after retrieving a gun from his tent. However, he runs into a [[American black bear|black bear]]. The bear starts growling, and so Elmer turns to a wildlife handbook for advice, which directs him to play dead.<br /> <br /> The bear soon gives up (after sniffing Elmer's &quot;[[Body odor|B.O.]]&quot;&amp;nbsp;– his feet), but Bugs climbs onto Elmer and starts growling exactly like the bear. He misbehaves in various ways to keep Elmer on the ground with his eyes shut, but just as he starts biting Elmer's foot, Elmer sees what is going on and grabs his rifle. The bear returns and Bugs runs away just as Elmer swings the gun, clobbering the bear rather than the rabbit. A chase ensues with Elmer and the bear running through the trees to the tune of the &quot;[[William Tell Overture]].&quot; Finally, the bear freaks Elmer out by riding on top of him.<br /> <br /> When the bear is knocked off him after hitting a tree branch, Elmer gives up and packs everything into his car (almost including a huge tree). He passes the welcome sign at the gate on his way out, backs up and reads it again. He declares its promise of &quot;a restful retreat&quot; to be &quot;bawogney!&quot; and, to teach the park not to give false advertisement, he chops the sign to bits with an ax and stomps on the pieces while calling the park's &quot;peace and wewaxation&quot; promises &quot;wubbish!&quot; A ranger (along with Bugs) appears, and has an angry expression on his face. Elmer is arrested for the destruction of government property, and from his jail cell window he tells us that &quot;anyway&quot; he is &quot;wid of that gwizzwy bear and scwewy wabbit! West and wewaxation at wast!&quot; Unfortunately, however, he turns to find out that somehow he is sharing his cell with both Bugs ''and'' the black bear. Both of them ask how long he is in jail for (&quot;Pardon me but, how long ya in for, doc?&quot;) they ask.<br /> <br /> ==Production==<br /> For the cartoon, Elmer was redesigned as a fat man (based on voice actor [[Arthur Q. Bryan]]'s own physique) in an attempt to make him funnier. The &quot;fat Elmer&quot; would only make three more appearances in the ''Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies'' canon&amp;nbsp;– ''[[The Wabbit Who Came to Supper]]'', ''[[The Wacky Wabbit]]'' and ''[[Fresh Hare]]'', in addition to a [[cameo appearance]] in the non-canon war bond advertisement ''[[Any Bonds Today?]]''&amp;nbsp;– before returning to the slimmer form by which he is better known, for ''[[The Hare-Brained Hypnotist]]''. This cartoon was the only time, though, that the Fat Elmer also had a red nose.
