We are off again

We are off on another camping trip and another attempt to bag some peaks on Thursday. This trip is very much anticipated and Jessica and I are looking forward to getting away from life and into the woods again. We will be gone from Thursday to Tuesday and it will be the first time, in far too long, that we have gotten to spend so much time together without CPA tests, Grad school studying and work. We will be heading out early Thursday, with a stop at bean to replace our camera and grab some other stuff, to Newcomb. We will be camping at NYS campground Lake Harris. Our site is right on the water and we are hoping that we will be able to rent kayaks when we aren't hiking.

We will be hiking on two out of the 5 days that we will be there. We are going to tackle Nippletop and Dial on Friday and Colvin and Blake on Sunday. Both of these hikes take off from the same spot and are fairly long. We are looking at 14.4 miles on Friday and 13.8 miles on Sunday. Hopefully we will survive since we haven't had a ton of time to work out lately and by a ton I really mean we haven't been working out at all. If we can get these four peaks we will have a total of 6 done (we lost 3 to our count when we canceled our June trip) and only have 40 to go. We are also planning on a trip in September and in October for my birthday. In September we are planning on getting some of the peaks we missed in June and we aren't sure what October will bring.

We will be sure to update when we get home and post pictures from our snazzy new camera.
