A Day In The Adirondacks

I journeyed to Chimney Mountain on a beautiful Sunday morning. Chimney Mountain is known for some good rock climbing and spelunking. After a rather intense mile of steep incline, I arrived at the top sooner than I thought. But I was rewarded with some spectacular views.

Here is the "chimney", up close and personal.

A view from the chimney: my next objective. This is where some cool cave entrances are.

Now off the main trail and following the foot trail of spelunkers. I had a great view of the camp where I parked my car.

After sitting down to take a Trail Mix break, I was quickly joined by some new friends. Fearlesss and hungry, a pair of chipmunks began to share in my meal. You may notice the little one above...his cheeks are full with trail mix...he's storing the food there.

Here's the other chipmunk. He was 20 yards out when I started eating but quickly sprinted in my direction, let out a high pitched squeak to get my attetion, and proceeded to dine. I ultimately fed the little guys by hand but unfortunately couldn't get the right shot.
