Bad news about the llama schedule you've all been waiting for and other ramblings

I just checked the fair schedule - it looks like the llama dress up show was on last Friday only, unless they just didn't list it for every day.
On Friday the llamas were in the llama show ring all dressed up at 6pm and they had a little award ceremony on Saturday?

Awww how cute!

For those who remember: "In Peru, where the llamas dress like women!" - I wonder who wrote that crazyness.

.....
This weekend I hiked up a mountain (or two)! 3 hours and 20 minutes up baby! Colden via Lake Arnold starting at the ADK Campground near Heart Lake. Oh, what a rush. There is simply nothing like throwing all that you have into climbing up rocks and earth - for a moment, any worries that you have in your mind disappear and the mountian becomes your only thought - besides thinking about breathing, that is - which becomes important at some point too - and anyway, really.. here are the mtn specs:

Mount Colden
Height: 4,714 feet (1,437 meters)
Location: New York, United States, North America

Woot!

....

Went up Mt. Jo too (again, like every year)
Mt. Jo
Height: 2,876 feet (877 meters)
Location: New York, United States, North America

Mt. Jo is a short hike - about a mile up - it's a little tasking, a little workout (nothing like Colden) and the view is really great from up there - wish it wasn't cloudy so my hiking companion could have seen more of the panorama (she'd never hiked in that region) - it's truly beautiful up there.

Type either of these babies into a search engine and you'll get all kinds of pictures that people took on their trips to the high peaks region... hikers documents, etc... it helps, but it's not the same as being there. I read somewhere once - sometimes, people rely on their cameras - they say - "Oh, my cameras batteries are dead!" and continue to mess with the camera and miss the experience - Well, I think that we have to stop looking so much through the camera - I do the same thing, trying to take the goodness home with me. But, at some point you just have to put the camera down - because dearies, your eyes will not fail you.

This completes my second of the 46 high peaks - I still want to do Marcy at some point; have to climb the tallest one in the region!

And on that note... goodnight folks.
