Whats in your pack?
Currently sifting and sorting through piles of gear to get ready for a week long hiking trip in the Adirondack Mountains around Lake Placid N.Y. The plan is to complete the five remaining peaks on our list of the 46’ers as they’re called. The region has 46 peaks over 4,000ft, not very high by western standards but a phenomenal hiking location in my opinion.
