Happy news to report! I was assigned my ADK 46er number....I am #6677 and I joined 294 other hikers who completed their 46er journey this year. I will join my fellow hikers from the class of 2009 in May at the Crown Plaza in Lake Placid at the 46er Banquet! We'll receive or certificates and hopefully meet our correspondents. I can't wait!! In other news...I am now up to my 12th Winter Hike.
Brian and I hiked to Mt. Marcy last Saturday. What a gorgeous day! It was hovering around "0" most of the day. He remembered to bring his wind meter this time and "caught" a gust right around 40mph. Gnarly!

Almost there!
After a quick lunch, we headed to the summit....5,344ft above sea level. Our elevation gain was only around 3,000ft
At the plaque on the summit of Mt. Marcy...
Doesn't get any better than this! It was blowing like stink...30+mph (as Brian says), but that's ok, it's all part of the adventure!
