As mentioned in my previous post, I managed to sneak away for the weekend to Lake Placid in the Adirondack Mountains following a trip to a factory I am working at, close to Montreal.

Beautiful stuff Sam. I'm very jealous. Maybe that's a destination for the 2011 walk.

very very sweet photo's..makes me wonder how beautiful it was in real life if you're not completely satisfied with the shots.

TGSW – Thanks, I try.Dan – Yes, but if you wanted to do five days, you would have to carry everything on your back.Arjan – it was beautiful in real life, although I have to confess to enhancing the colour a little bit.

I come from New York, and have been to the Adirondacks and Catskills many times. There are great swaths of them that are state parks or protected. But, boy howdy, do they get cold in the winter. Or even the summer. One of my cousins by marriage lives on top of a mountain near Saranac Lake (which is right next to Lake Placid) and he reported it was 46 degrees (that's 8C, which makes it sound even colder) there on July 6th (brr).Nevertheless, I'm going to start thinking about locations in the US for a possible 2011 walk.
