Last weekend Andy and I went camping in the Adirondacks. We dropped Ben off at Andy’s parents and met some friends up there for hiking and campfires. One of my favorite sites was a US Mail truck that was actually a Jeep, decked out with off road tires and everything. We also got a good laugh when we arrived at check in. Apparently Andy had registered us as arriving in a black Ferrari instead of a black Ford. The guy at the gate asked “So where’s the Ferrari?” … because that’s a vehicle people go camping in :)

It was so pretty up there. We spent most of our time away from the campsite hiking in the woods, they were so green and quiet. We climbed Panther Mountain and found a few other trails to explore. We actually followed a deer trail through the woods for a little bit too. I don’t know anything about hunting or tracking, but it was really neat to figure out where the deer path was by looking at branches that had been snapped out of place or moss that had been rubbed off a log as the deer walked over.

And in case the picture of the spider didn’t gross you out, you should check out this video that Andy took. The flies were really bad in the part of the woods we were at and our friend Kevin was catching them IN HIS HANDS and then throwing them at the web. Hysterical and gross at the same time :)
