Towns and Trails

On a good day it might cause mild annoyance and frustration. On a bad day it will test your faith in humanity. Either way, no one enjoys it and everyone dreads it. The DMV.

The first full day of the 2010 Adirondack Mountainfest culminated with a presentation by elite mountaineer Steve House to a packed auditorium at Keene Central School.

Well, it didn’t take long for us to get a taste of Adirondack political drama.

The 14th annual Adirondack International Mountainfest kicked off tonight in Keene Valley, NY, and Jess and I had the pleasure of attending the opening presentation by Erik Weihenmayer.

As I mentioned in my dump post from the other day, we no longer have the luxury of curbside recycling. Turns out it’s not a big deal for every day items, but it posed an interesting dilemma when it came time to dispose of our Christmas tree.

The Adirondack International Mountainfest is January 15-17, 2010. The fest will include clinics from local and guest guides, as well as slide shows by Erik Weihenmayer and Steve House.
