Paper

Steve and I celebrated our one year anniversary this past weekend. We were advised by a friend that we play frisbee with that this is the paper anniversary however, we skipped gift giving and treated ourselves to weekend in the Adirondack mountains which are about 1.5 hours from Montreal in New York State. The plan was to hike and then cozy up in our two man pup tent - which to date has only been cuddled in by Steve and my dad on their backpacking trips. The hike was fantastic for so many reasons: the peak we hiked was the second highest in the Adirondack mountain range so we could see for miles at the top; there was a thunderstorm rolling in and the sky was awesome; the ecosysten at the top of the mountain was artic alpine and something we just don't see that often; and we arrived on the perfect fall weekend as all of the leaves were bursting with fall colours - reds, oranges and yellows. The mountains looked like they were on fire they were so bright. We took about 2,000,000 pictures.

After the hike our plan was to find a camp site, check out Lake Placid for dinner and then curl up all cozy in our little pup tent however it turned out that Steve had actually forgotten the tent in Montreal. Seriously, who forgets the tent on a camping trip? After some deliberations we voted to not sleep in the back of the Buo and spent the night in a hotel in Placid. We took about 2,000,000 more pictures on the drive home yesterday and then spent the rest of the day playing a game of frisbee with our fall team and then making a curry dish (from scratch) from the cook book Tommy gave us last year.
