1st Moose Release and Other Fall Goodness

















Fall is a great time of year. Weekend obligations seem to be fewer than the summer, and there is just a little less going on. That leaves time for doing other, different things than the normal summer/spring routine. Maragret and got a chance to go to Henderson Lake for a little overnight. It was great, but next time we are using lighter boats.






The other day we got our first snow in the mountains around Lake Placid. Around 1:00 the clouds lifted, and they revealed a nice dusitng above 3500 feet. Very cool. Can't wait for winter.








With the first weekend of October came the first Moose Release. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical of the river level. It turns out that 2.7 is still a good level. Especially when you are rolling with a huge crew. We must have had over a dozen people on the river with us that day. Including Nate Geoffery, straight out of Lake Colden, New York. A bunch of us fired off Magilla despite the lower than optimal flow. If you look carefully enough you can Justin McGiver's helmet as he is approaching the lip.


This weekend a rather large crew (Bill, Kyle, Mark, Adrienne, Kyle, Eli, and Myself) are heading to Vermont and New Hampshire to see how much great mountain biking we can do in one weekend. I can wait to see what kind of Shenannigans we run into.
