November 23rd Camping at East Branch

|

In mid-November I went up to the Adirondacks to do some winter camping. It was fairly cool but not terrible for November but maybe a bit more snow then I was hoping for.

Nice Roaring campfire

It was a beautiful Saturday evening by the campfire on the East Branch of the Sacanadaga River, not too cold.

Camping Along Hope Falls Road

|

It has been a few years since I've camped back along Hope Falls Road, north of Spectulator but it was a nice change to go somewhere in the Adirondacks different. Hiked back to Tenant Creek Falls twice during the weekend, and then out to Wilcox Lake. East Stoney Creek had a decent amount of water for cooling off in it but the currents were pretty strong.
