Wednesday my sister Cheryl and I went to Old Forge, NY and up the ski lift at McCauley Mountain. It was awesome! We got there early, and it was not at all crowded. It was sunny, but the wind made it cool. Luckily we had both worn sweatshirts.
Oh deer.
We saw some deer on the way up. I was also admiring the rocks. I confess I enjoyed riding the ski lift almost as much as I enjoyed looking at the views.
Is that Moose Lake? I suppose I should look these things up.
The colors were not as widespread and vivid as we had hoped. We speculated that the dry summer was to blame. However, there was still some color to be seen, and I enjoy looking out over a wide vista whatever the time of year.
On the way back down.
Going both ways on the ski lift, I greeted everybody going the other way. There were more people going up as we went down than coming down as we went up. They all returned my greetings in a friendly fashion.
We spent some time at the top, even hiking a short trail. I took more pictures, but regular readers know how I like to spread these things out (preview of coming attractions). We had a lovely time and may make it an annual fall adventure.
