Welcome to the Blog for the Great Western Adventure. Currently hiking in the Adirondacks…..

This picture is from the Flowed Lands which should be familiar to some of you. While normally a wetland/lake in the summer, we got to walk right across it this weekend
.

The top picture is the leanto we stayed at. The second picture is navigating on the way to Cliff, a trailless peak. There was certainly plenty of snow. Below are two pictures to give you a comparison of how different things can look between winter and summer. I am standing next to the same tree in both pictures.
Cliff in the Winter
Cliff in the Summer
20 more peaks to make my Winter 46. Starting March 1st I will be full time in the Adirondacks. May it come right soon….
