Moss Lake Hiking Trip

Elizabeth's parents and brother, as well as her aunt and uncle, took us on a hiking trip around a lake near Inlet, New York, on July 28. The Moss Lake trail is short, but an excellent introduction to the Adirondack environs, and a pleasant stretch.
During the hike around Moss Lake, Janice Mandile poked the fallen body of her son, Chris. As luck would have it, Chris revived, without poison ivy marks.

An Adirondack tree engulfs a boulder; its roots clenching a grip that the years will not slacken. The boulder has no chance but to be ground into sand.

There were a number of insects in the air; many more than Los Angeles. This dragonfly deigned to give us its photo.
