Mount Marcy with poor conditions
This summer's biggest hiking adventure had to be Mount Marcy. While I've done this hike twice about 7 years ago, this time the weather wasn't so good, which really made this hike wet, windy, and interesting. Oh, and here is a video of Amy and I dancing in the wind : )

Mohonk Preserve and the Mountain Hotel
April 8 2006- a rainy day turned into a good day of hiking. With a hike starting in the Mohonk Preserve, winding through the Mohonk Mountain House, and ending at the Mountain Brauhaus Restaurant.

Yes, Amy started having fun before anybody was ready (? + Amy).
Even with Amy in the area some of us remain cool and collected (Brian + Dave).
Me and Carla checking out the view.
Me and Suzy kick back for a few.
I sure hope they can figure out which way we went.
I just might be lost (Giant's Workshop).
Does anyone trust Amy's directions? (Giant's Workshop)
