Giant Mountain





Today Lauren and I hiked to the summit of Giant Mountain, the 12th highest peak in NY state. The day was perfect, with great visibility, and a warm sun, we couldn't ask for much more. The slides on Giant don't have enough snow to board down due to our recent January Thaw which had me a bit depressed, but the view from the top put me in a much better mood. This only #4 on my list of 46ers completed, and I'm going to try and bag a new one every other week from here until I leave the Adirondacks.


The views here can't be matched in the east, and goes to show that a little land preservation goes along way.


Until next time, Enjoy the winter.

Molly and Murph visit the Dacks



Molly and Murphy came up for a weekend visit, we went to whiteface, got drunk, then did it again. The sun was out, the temps were great, but we could use a bit more snow after the January thaw.
