yeah the hike was awesome, except for the picture with the dog in it, those stones were our climbing path for the last 45 minutes of the top. you can see all the dead trees, that was right after the tree line. ---

That’s a good looking Golden. I should post up a bunch of pictures I took when I hiked Killington Peak last summer. The peak was shrouded in clouds, and there was rime ice falling off the trees from overnight. It was early-June. I also have a killer picture from a view from a wilderness park right by apartment in Rutland. I really should post that up. ---

Man I miss the Adirondacks. When I was a kid we tent camped for 10-14 days every August at Rollins Pond near Saranac Lake. You can never run out of stuff to do in the summer. ---

what peaks did you climb so far? I used to go up there with a bunch of people and just climb mtns the whole time. I would totally be down to go again and a little advice: stay the f&\*! out of the Algonquin trail if you climb that peak. I know its one of the most popular peaks people climb, so if you guys decide to do it, go back down the way you came. ---
