Last week I posted about going hiking and planning to back country camp. The camping was a bust as a bag was delayed on my flight. So I did day hikes Thursday and Saturday. This is a picture from Thursday:
You have no idea how much all of your posts make me want to go back to (parts of) Upstate. Thanks for providing a connection to home, it's much appreciated even though it's been unwitting on your part.
I'm glad you enjoy them. It's such a beautiful area. Where did you live when you were there? It's an area I could imagine moving to, and if you have any pros or cons that come to mind, I'd love to hear.
Thanks! That's from Nippletop, looking out over many of the Adirondack High Peaks. The near ridge is Colvin and Blake. The three snowy ones are Skylight, Haystack and Marcy, and a snowy Algonquin is just peeking over, too. Toward the right we can see Gothics, Armstrong, Upper Wolf Jaw and Lower Wolf Jaw. To the right in the distance is Whiteface. I need to sit down with a map and figure out the others. I think there are about 17 or 18 of the 46 peaks visible. I'd heard the view was good from Nippletop, but I didn't know it was THIS good.
