Another of your outstanding reports, Chris! I do read them all, even though I seldom submit a comment. Anyway, I'm especially enjoying your reports about Adirondack hiking. I've just recently started doing some hikes in that region. It's unlikely that I'll ever visit all the ADK 46er peaks, but your blog reports provide a means to enjoy a vicarious hiking experience to those magnificent places. Thanks for sharing!
