Preparing

Well this weekend wasn't very eventful but I did get a chance to go out to Lake Ontario and check out the scenery. It was extremely cold out Sunday and actually made me breakout all of my Arctic gear just to walk the edge of the lake . But once again I am back in preparation mode and getting ready for my first trip to the Adirondacks for the year . My first plan of the season is to hike up to Marcy Dam.  I would like to spend 2 or 3 days camping at the dam and exploring Mount Marcy and Algonquin. Starting in August the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has decided to tear down the Marcy Dam. It won't be a quick process, as it is scheduled to be taken down in stages over 4 years. So to me it's kind of important to get up to the dam  to get some images of the dam as it sits today because it won't be long and it will only be a memory, so I have some ideas of some creative shots I would like to take well I spend some time on the mountain.
