We have done a lot of “firsts” on this trip. We knocked out one more first for Bridget after our nice little vacation in Burlington by going on a backpacking trip. We packed up two backpacks and headed out into the Adirondacks of New York for three days and two nights. We ventured out about ten miles into the Tongue Range of the Adirondacks. We followed a loop that went up onto a ridge and followed the ridge for about four miles offering great views of Lake George, the High Peaks to the West, and of the Green Mountains in Vermont to the East. We camped up on top of a peak named Fifth Peak and then headed down the next day to hike along Lake George. After a long second day, we took a swim in the lake and set up camp right by the water for our second night. If you have ever been camping out in the woods you would know that it gets really quiet. The noises of civilization are just not there. This leads to your mind playing some tricks on you…well, Bridget’s mind. I don’t think she slept a wink the second night because she was sweating every little stick that broke, every leaf that crunched, and every drop of water lapping onto the shore. Sleepless nights aside, we had a great time! Here are a couple of the better pictures:
