Adirondacks Trip




Nora and I took a trip a couple of weekends ago, up to the Adirondacks. We stayed in the cute little town of Elizabethtown overnight and had a fabulous dinner at the Deer Head Inn. Got up there Saturday around noon and did a 4 mile hike up to Bald peak. Only saw a few people, a group of overly chatty women at the top and a young couple that didn't even bother to stop at the peak and take in the views.

The weather was cool, but the day was clear and we had an awesome time! Here are some photos from that hike, and a hike the next day up Blueberry Mtn., which is just outside of Keene Valley...

Also - Nora wanted to see the homestead of John Brown, the famous abolitionist. So we took a little side journey to the town of Elba, which is just outside of Lake Placid. You can actually see the ski jumps from the homestead.
