Adirondack Bliss

A glimpse into the wonderful vacation to the Daks that V and I took recently. Wish I were still there...

Victoria doing one of her favorite camping things: a hot washcloth on the face in the morning.

On the way to Algonquin and Wright peaks (both high peaks. I've done them both 3 times now, and this was the 1st for V.)

On top of Algonquin with my best friend.

On top of Wright looking at the town of Lake Placid.

Overlooking Heart Lake (where we stayed at the ADK Loj) from atop Wright.

Wright again, with Marcy (the most prominant peak in the background) the tallest peak in NYS.

A rock cairn on the way back down Wright.

Heart Lake. One of my favorite places.

Enjoying my morning coffee lakeside.

Heart Lake again, with Algonquin in the background.

My baby. This is the coolest road. As you drive into the ADK Loj, you get the most amazing view of the high peaks. Victoria couldnt contain her excitment.

Love it.

Cascade; the first high peak V and I did.

Bear love.

Our morning starter.

Cookin up some flapjacks on my trusty pocket rocket. They were slammin'.

Our awesome tent. It may be small, but the smaller the tent, the less space you have to heat with your body heat, and the closer you can snuggle to your honey.

A roarin' fire, the way my woman likes it.

Mountain Girl.

A sweet little cafe in Keene. Cool little town. Simple life.

She does love those bears.

A cool (and a little disturning) taxidermy shop. They had practicaly every animal you could think of stuffed and mounted: Flying squirrels, moose, boars, deer, bear...

and of course, what taxidermy shop wouldnt be complete without a lion devoring a zebra.

It was an awesome trip. Cant wait to go back...
