Attempting to cross Lake Jimmy
Turtle on trail
Yesterday we hiked Allen. Now that is a hard hike. We started at 5 in the morning at a good steady pace with my dad's friend from http://www.forums.adkhighpeaks.com/index.php whose screen name is Yonzor. The hike was really long and we had to cross the Hudson River and the Opalescent. On the way up we saw a turtle, a snake, a bunch of frogs, and a dead deer. We reached summit around 12:45-ish due to a half hour of bushwhacking around Lake Jimmy and heading up the wrong slide about a quarter mile to the top. We were turned around immediately at the summit due to thunderstorms. On the way back we spotted more frogs, a wild turkey and beavers. We finished our hike around 9:30 a couple hours later than we wished to have finished.

We have gotten this one behind us! I was amazed at your stamina, you just kept hiking. This was a long one with many tricky obsticles. Bushwacking, Herd paths that were hard to follow, slick red slime, bridges that were out and rivers that we had to wade across. You did it all and you did it well.
ReplyDeleteThis was definitely a hard one. I'm glad it's out of the way :)
