A few stops in Western Mass at Mass Mocha and some small galleries

and onto our final destination: The Roxbury Motel in Roxbury, NY!
And Behind door #22:

Beautiful red velvet suite called Miss Kitty's Saloon (it even comes with cowboy hats!)

It wasn't all soooo relaxing -

We took a cave tour at Howe Caverns:

 And a cave boat ride!

A 7 mile hike up Twin Mountain, Sugarloaf, and Indian Head:

 Some really cool rock formations along Devil's Path:

 Lots of wildflowers and mushrooms:

Lake George where we dried out from the tent flood the night before! David wove together a beautiful array of tarps and rope to form the ultimate rain fortress!

 Note the water retention wall out of tarp and tent stakes!

An interesting find on our way south:

On to Lewey Lake - a bit touristy compared to our backcountry site:

A mother duck and her chicks welcomed us as we pulled into our campsite

 A ballerina danced in the next campsite

 Bratwurst cooking on extendable forks!

 Beautiful light over the lake at sunset.

 We woke up to a flooding tent in the morning - guess waterproofing doesn't last forever :(
Everything was soaking wet but we were still laughing at this guy:
