So I should probably mention that as a part of my fitness goals, I plan on becoming a 46er. What’s a 46er you might ask? My hometown is in Upstate New York, and since my parents still live there I tend to go and visit a lot. What can I say? I love the Adirondacks too much to ever leave them. I’m a ‘Dacky at heart, hiking, kayaking, camping, etc. Anyways, residing alongside me in the Adirondacks are the 46 high peaks, and my goal is to climb them all.
Becoming one is pretty simple: you climb them, then send in a bunch of letters and other information regarding your journeys, and BAM! you get a certificate in the mail, a bunch of promotional stuff, and a chance to be in PEEK magazine.
Easy peasy, right?
So, above are the photos from my November hike where I conquered my first two high peaks: Cascade and Porter. The top picture is me at Porter’s peak, and the second to last one is me (and the person causing my current heartache) sitting (the wind toppled you over if you stood!) on Cascade’s peak. Pretty cool stuff, plus these pictures were mostly taken towards the base of the mountains because it got too snowy and windy at the top to maneuver a camera without dying.
Regardless, my best friend Sara and I plan on knocking out at least 8 of them this summer, so I will be sure to take you all with me on this fantastically exciting journey in my life! I can’t wait to share it with you beautiful guys and gals!!!
Okay, now I must resume moping around the house, claiming there’s no one out there that will ever love me.
Love freely, folks.
