This saturday we hiked out to our shelter we adopted on the Long Trail, Skyline Lodge. After a lazy morning we stopped in at the Big Picture for a breakfast burrito (sooo good) and some doughnuts; some for us, and some for the caretaker up at the Lodge. The drive over to Middlebury Gap was nice, the hike in was beautiful, and we found a really cool campsite with a nice outlook for watching sunsets over the Adirondaks. The shelter was in great shape, and we planned trips back both this fall and over the winter. A multi-day winter trip, using this shelter as base camp, is in the works. The winter trip is going to involve stew, biscuits with butter, no-bake cherry cheesecake, and eggs for the mornings. Oh, and camp coffee! And then lots and lots of skiiing and snowy backcountry adventure. Can't wait!!
you guys are the best volunteer caretakers with doughnuts ever. No one out here knows what apple cider doughnuts are. It is sad for them really.
