Welcome to my Adirondack Adventure Journal
While a majority of my adventures have been inside the "Blue Line", hence the title of the website, I do occasionally venture outside of it. I've hiked the White Mountains of New Hampshire as well as the Catskill Mountains. I've also been to Montana (Big Sky Country) a few times. I really enjoyed those trips but nothing compares to my beloved Adirondacks. My time spent up north has been split between hiking and backpacking the high peaks and many other mountain destinations as well as fishing in the Saranac Lake region. Of course we also fish some of the other Adirondack lakes from time to time. We occasionally visit the Great Sacandaga Lake during the winter and troll Lake Champlain for trout and salmon in spring and summer. My hiking passion began in earnest way back in 2001 when I discovered the High Peaks region. I do not consider myself a "rabid" peak-bagger as I've heard them referred to once, but I was always interested in completing the 46ers. Now that I have completed that goal, I hope I will enjoy hiking some of them again as well as some more of the "lesser" peaks and trails.
Whatever the adventure, I've been blessed with a few friends and family members that also enjoy my passion for being in the Adirondacks so I almost always have a willing partner or two to join me. I hope you enjoy some of the photos and trip reports.
