fun day off

Yesterday's hike up Mt. Allen was a killer. 18 miles at a fast pace, some of it more of a watercliff scramble than a walk. The kids go so fast here! I was able to keep up, but just barely. Nice scenery.

Today is our day off, and we went to a great swimming spot called Split Rocks. Look here for photos later. It is a series of pools and waterfalls to explore and swim in Sierra loved it. We were accompanied by Dave and Bob Tam. We all went for a late lunch at the Cliffhanger after that.

After that Shari climbed her first forty sixer, Cascade. It's the closest to camp, and one of the best. Lots of rocks on top allow for great views, and you can see all of camp laid out below you, as well as the highest mountains in New York.

Now it's off to Lake Placid for an evening of relaxing fun, and maybe another swim. It's hot and beautiful here.

Aloha,

Jim
