The year is 2008 and my son-in-law Mike is smitten with a lofty goal of hiking the Adirondack 46 high peaks. The motivation for his goal is to get in shape and enjoy the process. He needs a partner and I am THERE! I love the mountains, the hiking, and the thrill of the climb. And I am smitten with the journey thru the forest of ferns, the wildflowers, the mountain streams, the rocky climbs, and the sounds of the birds.
So, in the decade of my 60’s, I too have a lofty goal of hiking the 46 peaks. Our first “hike” is to the book store to acquire the necessary books to prepare for the task. We decide on a few basic guides and one man’s personal journey with his son. Then it is off to EMS for some gear and goodies. The rest of our needs we will make up as we go along.
