One of our dearest friends and for many decades our most trusted veterinarian, who cared for our cows and other animals with ever so much heart and skill, invited us to visit a historic Adirondack camp the other day.
It was stunning.....I won't even try to describe it. If you have ever visited such a place you will know....magic.....
As were the lakes, bays, and back roads she also took us to visit. Such a happy time and such fun to put "faces on the places" we have talked about for years. I never got farther into the 'Dacks than Pine Lake until I was out on my own. My first Adirondack trip was to camp out in the rough at Tirrell Pond. That was like coming home to something I had never seen before. Deja vu and all. (We were the crazy ones who packed in butter, potatoes, and butternut squash to cook in foil in the coals for a feast. They were heavy but worth it.)

Another time we went just after dusk on a shockingly cold winter night and heard frozen trees exploding all around us. Something else you would never forget.
This time we went up the other way through Old Forge and Inlet....
And fell in love all over again, with a fresh and different aspect of the Adirondacks than where we usually visit, tending more to the Speculator, Indian Lake, up to Tupper side of things, having always gone there for no particular reason.
Also touched heads and exchanged greetings with one of the sweetest kitties I have ever met. Way to go Norman.
Thanks Kris, for a day we will remember for a very long time....now to arrange that warbler watch morning......
