Towns and Trails

Our first trip to Lake Everest resulted in less paddling than we would have liked, so we went back for a second time sans puppy and explored the area a bit.

Crappy weather, sprained ankles, and crazy work schedules aside, we’ve managed to get outside and have a little bit of fun recently.

Including taking Willa Jean for her first paddle.

Wow! I hope this doesn’t become a popular West coast extreme sport. It was very strange to come across this video of a guy kayaking through the flooded streets of my hometown.

The Chubb River has always been a bit of an Adirondack landmark for us. Reaching it signaled that we were close to finishing our Northville Placid thru-hikes. However, we recently had the opportunity to enjoy the river in another way.

Amid millionaire “camps” and scenic views of the High Peak, a small section of cliffs and ledges somehow manages to stand out along the shores of Lake Placid.

Our Adirondack vacation is coming to an end, but I wanted to take the canoe out one more time before we left. So here is a quick video of this morning’s sunrise over Lake Placid.
