A Few From My Neck Of The Woods (14 images)

[pico23]

A few shots taken on our 10 day wilderness paddling trip in September (plus 2 or 3 from the following weekends)

Those interested, can read what is (for me) a brief synapsis of 10 days. Actually, it's by the #'s summary.

Adirondack Canoe Traverse By The #s

Beautiful pictures. I love the Adirondacks. I've spent quite some time hiking along the Fulton Chain of Lakes in the southwest part of the park. Now that I have gotten into photography, I really want to get back there again.

Many thanks for posting the photos. They are all spectacular. The area around Tupper Lake and Adirondack, NY is one of my favorites in all of North America. We always make a trip during the fall color and stay right on the lake. This year it seemed every weekend had rainy bad weather so we went to southern Utah instead. I'm glad you had some sunny weather and thus the great scenes.

Some of my other favorite spots in the Adirondacks include the Keene River valley, the area around Mt. Marcy, The Au Sable falls, the entire shoreline of Lake Champlain, and the Hudson Valley between Schroon Lake and North Hudson. Thanks for taking me there. My fav was the last one.

I liked your article detailing your venture as well.

You east coasters have all the great scenery and hiking trails. I like that funky BBQ grill in #3 (j/k) You did a great job of capturing the essence of the trip. Thanks for posting these.

yeah, I'm lucky. I live between 1 and 2 hours from dead center of one of the 3 places in the US I want to live (Denver/Boulder/CO Springs, or Seattle/Bellingham being the others). And I'm within a 4 hour drive of anyplace in Vermont (actually, VT is close 30 min to the border, just uses small winding roads and is inconvenient, although scenic) or New Hampshire (farther but quicker to get to). Plus, NYC, Boston and Montreal are less than 4 hours (2-3 to NYC, 2-3 Boston, 3.5 montreal).

Pretty much from June - Oct we are paddling every weekend, but it's nice to not have to pack and unpack, load the car, and drive every 5th day. 10 days without a car, or seeing a car, is a wonderful thing. Seasons are nice too, right now we are just weeks away from ice climbing and skiing. Of course with global warming or whatever, the ice and snow season seems to have shrunk over the last few years. Last year it was warm enough to wear shorts till early January.
