Adirondack 46ers September 4, 2004 - I've absolutely loved the short times I've spent in the Adirondacks. Lake Placid is one of my favorite secret towns in America and the hugely expansive park is inspiring for a reason. And it's inspired another peak-bagging list - the 46 4,000 foot peaks of the ADK's. … [Read more...]
US National Parks

Cheeseburger at Shady Glen
I Feel Shady Eating Cow Shady Glen, Manchester As CTMQ readers may know, I don't eat dead cows (or pigs or goats for that matter).

Jericho Trail
The Walls and Caves of Jericho Watertown, 3.4 miles (one way) May 18, 2009 I don't know how or why this trail got the name "Jericho," but I'm sure it goes back a ways in our history... The area probably named by the Puritan Colonials. For as you know, the city of Jericho is described in the Hebrew Bible as the … [Read more...]
