West Canada Lakes
Jess
We were happy to have a short 6 mile day to West Canada
Lake. We arrived early and had plenty of time to swim and relax on
the rocks that dot the shore. This spot always makes us happy. Hot
chocolate – with the Baileys we had managed to smuggle in our packs
– made a nice end to the day. |

I began to hatch a plan as we settled in for the
evening. Since I clearly wasn't feeling the thru-hike this
year, we’d hike to Cedar Lake and spend one more night
there. The next day we’d hike to Wakely Dam, give my folks
a ring, and cross our fingers that they’d deposit us in Long
Lake, skipping the ascent over Blue Mountain. From there,
we’d either continue the trail or spend the week road
tripping and car camping. Jess seemed like she was
game for this idea, I'm lucky she is so laid back. |

Dave Tonight was one of the
most spectacular sunsets I have ever witnessed in the
Adirondacks. It was a perfect day, the loons were
playing and calling out, and the sun just slowly fell behind
the mountains. Each passing moment seemed to highlight
this already amazing scenery in a new splash of color. |
