We drove to Ticonderoga this morning with our friend, Pam, to hike Cook Mtn. It was a short hike--only 3.5 miles round trip...not too bad but the leaves made it a little hazardous as they covered rocks and roots (I think the next time we hike, I will bring a leaf blower so I can see where the [bleep] I'm stepping). It was about 25 degrees when we left the trailhead and mostly sunny. By the time we reached the summit, the wind picked up--maybe 15 mph--making it feel like 13 degree. Not good for the fingers, especially when you're not moving. I ended up doubling up on fleece gloves which didn't help much. Fortunately, the trailmaster, aka Brian, had some hot-hands in his big backpacking "bag-o-tricks". We walked over to a nearby overlook to see the most northern end of Lake George. On our way home, we drove to the Roger's Rock Camp Ground to see Roger's Rock of course! Brian has already hiked it and says that it is steep. Really steep. And that boys and girls was today's adventure.
