‘Twas a short trip to the Adirondacks… We decided not to stay another night, as there wasn’t any vacancy at The Hedges, and we didn’t feel like driving father north to Tupper Lake. It was still a nice getaway, from the hubbub of ‘civilized life.’

I have a bunch of photos to upload, but I can’t get iPhoto to upload the photos to Google’s Picasa Web Albums, so they may just have to wait. I would otherwise upload them here but I’d rather not use up the disk space! It’s expensive these day! ;)

I just arrived at The Hedges in Blue Mountain Lake, NY. This is not the first time I’ve stayed here, but unfortunately my blog post about it was deleted in a fatal server mishap. Oops!

Anyway, the Adirondack region is definitely my favorite, and I am glad to be up here. I hope to take hundreds o photos to commemorate my stay here. Today is cloudy and windy so everything looks blah. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

I just finished reading Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer and am now reading A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson. Never before have I been so inspired to trek into the unknown and camp out.

So I’ve decided that this weekend (more specifically, Saturday through Monday) I will walk into the wild and camp out for two nights and three days. I’ll most likely be camping on some property that my father owns in Forestport, NY. His property actually borders the Adirondack State Park. According to Weather.com, it is currently 5°F in Forestport and actually feels like -11°F. Yikes! Fortunately, the forecast for the weekend is an average of 32°F so that won’t be too bad. I’m staying optimistic!
