On Saturday morning, the children had discovered the walkie talkies and were quite taken by the "ghost pirate" that may have found his way onto the same station. Around the crack of eleven or so, we decided to take a group hike to Mount Jo. We started up the trail but after Mike sprained his ankle after tripping over a boulder, we helped him to the bottom of the trail instead of making the summit. We were still getting broadcasts to the "ghost pirate" from the kids on top of the mountain though...
In the evening, we had a huge dinner at Adirondack Loj and enjoyed the weather on the porch before making some campfires that evening and dozing off in a food-induced coma.
The next morning, Lisa and I packed our meager belongings and headed to the Van Hovenburg trail to hike to Lake Arnold. We stopped for a quick snack break at Marcy Dam before making the steady grade to the lake. It was a new trail for us and we enjoyed the views along the way as well as the quiet backwater. We decided not to try to summit any mountains due to the humid weather and possible thunderstorms but had a great trip back to North Elba where we visited John Brown's Farm before heading home.
