ADK: What again? Yes, definitely.

We disappeared up North for a week. We rented a cabin on Horseshoe Pond. It was excellent. We climbed Ampersand Mountain which Willy the hound and I camped on 30 years back. We paddled the pond and big chunks of the Saranac River including a passage through the locks. Played Catan a couple evenings, finished the 5th Extinction, continued Hamilton, knocked off The Gunslinger, roasted some corn, just chilled. Good for soul.

Good for soul.

I like that. I'm taking the scouts hiking and camping next weekend. It will be fun, but not quite the same as a week with family.

I wish I could go with you. I was an Eagle Scout and Order of the Arrow.

Life be good, Griff.

But a nice change just the same. Enjoy.

That's no small accomplishment.

I was neither.

That's true but look what happened after that.

Pete and I hiked in along John's Brooke and set up camp Friday afternoon. We got up Saturday and did a 10 mile loop which included Saddleback and Basin. We descended the pictured face of Saddleback which was a bugger. If I do it again, I'd rather climb up that thing. Look at the tiny people! Anyway the picture is from Basin which is #9 in elevation of the ADK Mountains. A nice weekend...

xoxoxoBruce · 09-25-2017, 09:19 AM

Looks like descending would be easy except for a couple sudden stops.

Griff · 09-25-2017, 05:06 PM

Yeah, it's not so much the falling as the stopping falling...

glatt · 09-26-2017, 11:51 AM

Wow. That looks like some serious terrain.

You and Pete must be in very good shape. Ten miles of THAT is like a marathon of flat land. Or more.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-26-2017, 03:05 PM

Just follow the yellow stripe trail... I think coming down would be twice as bad.
