Wilmington, New York

It was a long day, but we are finally set up in our new campsite which will be our home for the next 4 weeks. This is a beautiful campground right in the heart of the high peaks region of the Adirondacks. Whiteface Mountain is just behind us. In fact, there is a trail at the back of the campground which connects to the main trail to the summit of the mountain. I guess I know where I’ll be getting my exercise. We came here to hike. This is so perfect.
Our first glimpse of the high peaks region

After we got off the interstate this afternoon, we followed the Ausable River to Wilmington. I was delighted to see that it runs right by the campground. That ought to be a great place to practice my photography. We also saw a few people on bicycles, but this area is far too hilly for me to ride.

This is all for today—I’m just too tired. The exploring begins tomorrow.
