Algonquin and Wright

After some pretty wild afternoon thunderstorms the day before this day was a perfect blue sky summer day. They had predicted 85 in Burlington. It wasn't hot in the ADKs until the very end of the day. Probably 60 at the top of the mountains and very little wind so perfect for hanging out.

Went with Jill and John to the ADK Loj. Then up Algonquin and then to Wright on the way back. It was very dry in the ADKs. We went by a number of streams and what are usually waterfalls that were barely moving. The tops of the mountains were clear and you could see to Mansfield and Camels Hump in VT. Algonquin had great views of half of the ADK 46ers. Colden and Mt Marcy are close by. Very nice day and John even managed to take a nap on the top of Algonquin. There is a plane crash on Wright from 1962 that is close to the top.
