For my birthday my parents got us a gift certificate for ziplinig at a place near Jabe.

I felt like a squirrel flying around in the trees. Some parts were super hard but I always wanted to go faster and faster.

Terry and I barely made it but we got to do the last and hardest course. Somehow we were much better at it then the super fit typs in front of us, that thought we did the course before. It really works you out.

Getting to Jabe Pond was so crazy. The road on the way up is tore up from the floor up. In reality its not too long from Lake George and a lot of touristy things but it felt a million miles away. Like most of the week we started the day at 2.

Schlepping everything in the canoe is fun. I wish it were more like a rowing shell. I think I got it down though.

Paul and I took a trip to one of the islands with a giant stone fireplace. Was there a cabin or something here?

It took all day and a lot of holz collecting but we were set up by night.

The next day on the way to Jabe Pond, we stopped at the Timberline Cafe in Speculator. They had the most amazing breakfast foods. Terry and I split French toast and a cheesy egg sandwich plus a salad with Paul. Terry got a second sandwich plus Paul got a huge mocha. The waitress thought we were insane for eating so much.

The first day we were a little late (of course) so we stopped at Comfort Point campground on Lake Pleasant. It was beautiful and very family oriented. We went for a night canoe.

The best part is that even out there they had recycling. I'm looking at you, Brushwood.

We're on the way to the Adirondacks. We left about 2pm which is amazing for us. We rented a Suburban which is appropriate because its like a tank from Clarence. We also managed to somehow almost fill it.

I just found out Letchworth is only 300 feet deep and the Grand Canyon is a mile deep. I always thought Letchworth was deeper than that but now it makes me wonder how they call it the grand Canyon of the east?
