Adirondacks

We take the ferry across Lake Champlain to the Adirondacks, NY State!

This time, we leave at 4 pm and Evains is awake for the ride!

And set up camp at Poke-O-Moonshine, the high peaks region of the Adirondacks. Mosquitos were OUT in vengeance. We went on a quest for insect repellent and firewood and had a campfire tonight.

We awoke in the morning to a hike UP the 1 mile vertical trail up to the high peaks from our campsite.

A break along the way...

OOH! But was it worth it!

...and blueberries?!




Happy blueberry faces on the way down.

We had been driving and moving around EVERY NIGHT so I promised we would settle in one spot for two nights. This spot turned out to be Moffitt Beach in the Southern Adirondacks. We arrived and set up just in time for a walk along the beach under the full moonlight...

The next day, we went rafting on the Sacadanga River. It was great to get in a river, as lake water was starting to feel kind of like warm bath water.
...then stopped at the playground in Spectator, NY, the town next to the Moffit Beach campground and scored pit food signaled by pit smoke.

Final morning out of the Adirondacks! Our farewell at our breakfast place.
