Notes of Interest: 1. I know I missed 2 bike commutes, each of which was 12 miles and 1.5 hours. 2. This month has been extremely wet. I started out well with the bike commutes, and then wasn't able to bike for almost 2 weeks due to rain. 3. The rain has all the trails extremely wet. 4. I've been able to explore new trails in familiar areas, and I'm hoping to do more of the same during the rest of the summer.

Date of Adventure: 28 June 2009
Place of Adventure: Moosalamoo, Silver Lake Trail
Length of Adventure, miles: 4
Length of Adventure, hours: 3.5
Weather: Overcast, intermittent breeze, temps in high 70's.
Companion(s): Mom, Colyn
Other Adventurers Encountered: Several hikers and dogs at camp/picnic area, but no one else on the actual trail.
Notes of Interest: 1. This trail is extremely rocky, and follows along the very edge of the lake. It would be a great place for a dog to go swimming, although there are some signs asking for dogs to be on leash. 2. We were told there had been a Bald Eagle sighted numerous times this spring. 3. Hiked up along the power lines a short ways and had a beautiful view of Lake Dunmore and the Adirondacks. 4. Apparently the Rattlesnake and Leicester Hollow trails are unhikable right now. Rattlesnake is closed due to nesting Peregrines, and Leicester Hollow is washed out.

Weather: Sunny, temps in upper 60's. Trail very, very wet

Notes of Interest: 1. I found another loop. I'm going to try to create a map. Unfortunately, as it stands now, I have to walk the road back to the car. I'm going to try to find another trail to loop back to the parking lot. 2. We saw HUGE moose tracks. Almost the size of both my hands together. Fortunately, we did not see the moose responsible for those tracks.
