3 Days in the Adirondacks
Wallface, Adirondacks High Peaks Region, NY

Day 1:

My daily foot regimen, that hasn't failed me once over the course of our AT thru-hike: a nightly foot washing, followed by a liberal application of a foot anti-friction cream/moisturizer (in this case, RocketPure Friction Therapy Anti-Chafe Balm), followed by a pair of warm, clean, dry socks - all just before bed.

3 Days in the Adirondacks
Wallface, Adirondacks High Peaks Region, NY

Day 1:

Having one bear canister between the two of us, the loaner being slightly smaller than the one we brought, proved to be quite a challenge when we had to stuff it full of all food and toiletry products at the end of the first day. When @reneetougas was done with it, there wouldn't have been room to add a single M&M.

3 Days in the Adirondacks
Indian Pass, Adirondacks High Peaks Region, NY

Day 1:

In addition to lots of water on the trail, there were also a lot of ladders. Apparently when there isn't a creek to route the trail through, they take it straight up a rock face instead. Those New Yorkers have some interesting trail building ideas :-)
