Gisele on a Moody Whiteface Mountain
What seems like the rainiest summer I can remember, appears to be drawing to a close. Despite unexpectedly getting soaked to the bone on more than one occasion, I can’t be too angry because our Catskills lawn has never looked better! I was able to put in quite a few miles on the bike in August, which was nice. In addition to the usual Catskills day loops, I did a three day trip with one of my good friends to the Adirondack Mountains. Britt and I have been mixing in a bit of Kayaking, as well. I am in the throes of marathon training again. One of the routes that I like for weekend long runs is very proximate to the spot we like to paddle. So to maximize efficiency, Britt packs a lunch, comes with me on the long run, then we paddle and swim afterward. Anyway, that is the context for the huge set of snaps below.

Moments Before a Cloud Burst on Whiteface Mountain (Overlooking Lake Placid). I Had to do Some Light Scrambling Up the Mountain to Get this Shot.
