Adirondacks

Shawn and I are getting ready to go hiking next week in the Adirondacks. I feel a little nervous, not as nervous as I was last year though. I am hoping that since I survived last year, I can survive again.

For those of you who don't know, there are 46 peaks in the Adirondacks. You can see a list of the peaks here: http://www.adk46r.org/listf.html If you hike all 46 peaks you are known as a 46er. Maybe someday I will reach that feat. :) Last year I hiked a total of 5 of the peaks.

This year, we are doing the Seward Range, which has four peaks: Seward Mtn., Mt. Donaldson, Mt. Emmons and Seymour Mtn.

Its nice to go hiking in the Adirondacks and reconnect with nature since we live in NYC. It is great to take a break from computers, cell phones, TV, the internet, ect. It feels so nice to "unplug" while we are away from the daily stresses of work and everyday life.

Above are some pictures of me hiking last year and my pack that I carried in for the beginning of the hiking and camping trip. Wish me luck this year!
