The ladies and I spent a few days in the Adirondacks on Lake Lila a motor free public lake. It was spectacular! We didn't climb the mountain though... because the mama and baby moose got in the way.:)

Beautiful. Very wise of you to call a truce with the moose on the loose. :thumb:
|
Absolutely gorgeous! I am full of envy.
|
Magnificent!
Thanks for sharing the pictures. :) |
It really looks like you had the lake to yourself too. Were there many other people there? It's not a huge lake, but big enough that you could have a few groups with lots of space in between.
Looks like the parking area is a quarter mile from the lake. Did you have to carry your stuff that far, or could you get closer? |

Campsite #2 looks... uh, damp. :haha:
|
Damp? Nah, just heavily promoated.
|
What a gorgeous place. It's so peaceful-looking. I want to go there and boat and sit around the campfire, and sleep like the proverbial log. On a log, even.

The DEC controls where people are allowed to camp. It was actually a busy weekend up there but there are not enough sites for it to get crowded by any stretch. If you don't find an open site you have to move on.
|
I forgot to mention that it's a motor free lake so no jet ski nonsense. When we got home we were greeted bright and early by the continuous 4 wheeler nonsense. Don't kids ever work anymore? In my day...

OK, so campsite #2 has an island under it to cut down the dampness.
|
Looks gorgeous!

oh look, a map!

Yeah. A map. And it has more information than Google Earth does. Presented in a clearer format.

The battery didn't fade at all on my copy...

Griff, your trip and pics are very enticing
... I particularly liked that morning/evening view of the same scene. But I'm surprised there's no evidence of biting bugs. Your pics did remind me of those I made back in the 70's when my family was on back-packing vacations in the Canadian Rockies. If family members were in one of my pic's, they most always were seen from their backside, because I was the one carrying the camera and usually the straggler in the group. I now wish I had made a run-around to get people coming towards me on the trails, or given the camera over to our dog who was most always out front. |

Looks like you had a good time there, sir. Normally I'd be jelly, but we (Amanda & I)
were up in Jim Thorpe doing much the same thing this week... Attachment 52622 She has pictures on her camera of a really cool Turtle, and a Bald Eagle eating a fish. I'll try to get them from her on Sunday. Attachment 52623 |
