After camping at Lake Pleasant, we kept on going through to Jabe Pond via Ticonderoga.
We had to stop at the WalMart because they've killed every other grocery store in a 50 mile radius.
They have everything you want, if what you want is easy access to guns and the multi-cultural Stinky family.
When we got to Jabe later, there were a ton of DEC and state police trucks in the parking lot. Some kayakers that were leaving told us there was a forest fire they were putting out. They had a bunch of pumps taking water up the hill - but we didn't see any smoke, so it must have been out for a while.
After we rowed the supplies over, Paul wrangled up some wood with his new anchor and rope apparatus.
The weather was perfect for swimming already.
Fires and booty warming.

Top of Black MountainCategory: adirondacks
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.
my brother looks so much like our dad in the second to last picture
