Hey, this is that post about our trip to the ADKs that I said I was going to put up. It's been a bit hectic getting everybody together, but the plan is to travel into the park to our first destination at some lodging in the Lake Placid area and climb some small mountain (possibly Hurricane) on Saturday. Then, on Sunday, we'll climb another mountain (maybe Ampersand), somewhere, and return there for a second night. Then, on Monday, we'll head out into the St. Regis ponds area and canoe/kayak for a day and find a campsite, probably on Little Clear pond, for that night. The next day we'll take our time, probably boat around and stop somewhere to go swimming and have lunch, then go back to the car, get everything together and drive home.
Now tha I write it what started out as a well-laid plan with lots of work put into it sounds really vague and, well, not very well-planed. Like I said, not everybody has been completely available or enthusiastic about this the entire time, but I think it will come together. Bringing my mom along is going to be fun, since she hasn't done this for a while, and my brother has hardly been around at all this summer with working at camp, so it's been kind of tough coordinating with him. It should be a great time, though, and hopefully I'll be able to post some amazing pictures some time next week. Have a great weekend everybody!
