Wow, what an awesome summer so far! I hope everyone else has enjoyed the weather and free time. I recently got back from a 3-day backpacking trip with Mr. Giroux. We were in an area of the Adirondacks up near Long and Tupper Lakes. We hiked about 25 miles along the Cold River/Seward Mountain area. Here are a couple pictures:Here is Mr. Giroux packing things up on the second morning. We pitched the tent in the middle of the river on a huge boulder.There was a great swimming hole where we camped. Here Mr. Giroux takes a dive off the rock.Mr. DeVoe checks out the "hot tub".This was taken at our camping spot on the second night. Throughout the Adirondacks there are little structures called Lean-tos that people can sleep in. Most come with a little picnic table like this one. Im still waiting on pictures from the bike trip, so check back. Bye for now.
