The "High Peaks" are just where we left them:
"Avalanch" and "Algonquin," next to "Indian Pass," and all the rest of the forty-six summits that rise above 4,000 feet.
The Olympic Ski Jumps are still larger than life.
Neither the sky-high costs of gasoline nor lodging seem to be having any adverse effects on the Tourist Trade:signs at hotels and motels say "No Vacancy" and Main Street is as jam-packed as we have ever seen it.
Just a random observation: there are MANY designated cross-walks on Main Street in Lake Placid and pedestrians have the right of way. As soon as anyone on foot steps into one of the cross-walks, traffic comes to a polite stop - in both directions - assuring them a speedy and safe cross-over to the other side of the street.
We found the parking lots out at ADK (the Adirondack Mountain Club) full, too. and guess that it's "bumper-to-bumper" foot traffic on the High Peaks trails, as well!
Away from trails, in the dark woods, Bunch Berries are bright even in the shade.
