It was a beautiful day on Algonquin, but the
hornets thought so too, and kept us moving around.
Dan and Em manage to find a hornet free spot;
Daniel probes for a hornet in an unwanted spot.
Center, ex-Ivy vaulters celebrate new
challenges,
Daniel, Dan and John...Relaxing at MacIntyre Falls on the

| From Otter Chalet or Deep
Woods
Cabin, follow Route 86 past Whiteface, turning left onto River Drive,
where
the West Branch of the Ausable heads off towards the Olympic Ski Jumps.
Turn
left onto Route 73 towards Keene, and look for an open field on your
right,
framed by the High Peaks and the road to Adirondack Loj. From the Loj,
trails
lead out to Algonquin, Wright, Marcy, Haystack, and other High
Peaks. |
Above left: Dan went up Algonquin with Steve
in
chilly, wet October '95 morning,
and with Wendy 2 weeks later when Winter
checked-in early, and they went up without crampons..
