I'm posting this from the top of Black Mountain in the Adirondacks. I already broke my post a day promise but its hard up hur in the land of EDGE. It took us about an hour to climb up.
At the top of the peak is an old fire watch tower, which now has a microwave dish, solar panels and a windmill. Apparently a satellite dish is too far in the future for them.
Up at the top there is 4G. you can see so much of Lake George and the surrounding area.

Lake Pleasant Campground and bathroomsCategory: camping
We stopped for the night at the Lake Pleasant campground in Speculator, NY.
It was nice for the state cluster camping. It reminds me of all the other state campgrounds we camped at growing up.
I've never seen such fancy public bathrooms at a campground. They are all LED, automatic lighting, private showers, and even USB ports next to the sink. How crazy is that?

Logan's Bar and GrillCategory: food
Due to the kayak mishap and traffic, we ended up falling way behind on time. So we decided to camp out for the night in Speculator, NY.
There was this restaurant we stopped at called Logans Bar and Grill. I had a squash,pepper and zucchini veggie burrito with a ton of sides that was alright, but kind of spiceless.
Paul and I shared a fried goat cheese and arugala salad that was freaking amazing.
I'm not sure what (e:Paul) just said in this picture but clearly (e:terry) found it ridiculous.

Adirondack boundCategory: camping
We're hurtling down the highway right now in the rented Suburban/tank. Murcia. Luckily I am still a year out from being able to officially drive a rental car.
At some point outside of Syracuse our kayak came loose and flew off of the roof of the car. Paul and I had to run back and get it. Amazingly the only thing we lost was the waterproof cover's strap. Now we just have the canoe tied down and the kayak is in the car.

Squeaky Wheel Dirty Thirty Peep ShowCategory: art
The Squeaky Wheel peep show was last night at 500 Seneca street. Most of the building was swank modern offices but the sixth floor was unfinished old factory space. the event was pretty fun - (e:terry) volunteered and helped organize a lot of it.
The art itself was a mixed bag - some was cool, some was kind of lame. I loved the dirty bird exhibit and satanic rabbit pentagram.
There was also delicious coco food, including a white bean arugula salad, and fancy chocolates. There were also free drinks. I still don't like gin.
I think my favorite scene of the night was Nick's drag getup. I seriously didn't recognize him when he came up to me.
