Ernie & James' Outdoor Adventures Part 1

James, my eleven year old son, and I took our first hiking trip together on October 4, 2008. We hiked into Second Pond which is a small pond in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. The trail is 2.6 miles one-way, so James and I hiked 5.2

Initially we thought the trail was only 1.2 miles, so we were surprised when we got to the trailhead to find out it was actually 2.6 miles. Not a big deal, we had a great time anyway.

Following are pictures from our trip.
