http://foreverwildadks.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Adventures in Upstate New York's Adirondack Park. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. A few minutes after we arrived at Armstrong, it seemed the entire community of hikers descended upon us like horseflies.

The High Peaks have a way of making you sorry for even the slightest notions of overconfidence. As I rounded the co...

Adventures in Upstate New York's Adirondack Park. Friday, December 30, 2011. Chimney Mountain and Eagle Cave. Do you think these halls are fair, where your King dwells under the hill in Mirkwood, and dwarves helped in their making long ago?

Take me out to the black. Tell them I ain't comin' back. Burn the land and boil the sea. You can't take the sky from me. There's no place I can be. Since I found Serenity. But you can't take the sky from me.". This is where it gets tough. I had one of my worst High Peaks memories on this one-mile long trail ...
