Lake Champlain



Ausable Chasm in eastern New York just before the ferry to Vermont over lake Champlain.

Off the beaten path....a waterfall not far from our camp just outside Lake Placid

Ah......upstate New York!

Our Moffitt Beach camp. The mosquitoes were distressing in the morning and evenings but deet worked well against them.
My Northface Jacket kept me warm and later on in the trip dry! Highly recommended.
The night before was a cold 33 degrees but my 45 degree sleeping bag performed well. However by sunrise, the cold had finally gotten the best of me. As it turns out early June in the Adirondacks can be surprisingly cold. The locals said it was not normal. Despite the cold, Moffitt beach was beautiful and totally worth the stop.


Inside Adirondack Park on a cold evening, looking for our campsite. Soon after this picture was taken we realized that the map was not accurate thus causing us to drive past our campsite outside the town of Speculator.
