These
are photos from a three day hike through the Adirondack Mountain range
in upstate NY. We ascended eight arresting peaks in twelve hour
excursions. The steep ascents, rocks and roots in the trail, crowded
trails, occasional black flies and carrying about four liters of water
made for an arduous trip but the worst offender was the 90 degree
temperatures and high humidity. I need to invest in more moisture
wicking clothing. Most all of the mountain streams were dry so there was
no chance of filtering water en route. Pictured are my partners in
crime, Doug, Jim and me, Malcolm Kogut.
The pictures include
Ausable Lake from Blake Mountain, the fire tower at the top of St. Regis
mountain, a distant view of Giant, Noonmark and Sawteeth, the ridge
walk of Whiteface Mountain, Mirror Lake in Lake Placid and a sign
designating the "Ladies Mile" trail from back in the day when women were
considered the more "dainty" of the sexes.
