Oh Jay
Howie and I hiked Jay mountain in the Northern Adirondacks. Jay is north of the high peaks which get most of hiker traffic. We only saw three people all day. The trail is not marked, but is easy to follow. It begins climbing through a mostly deciduous forest, until you reach the ridge. The rest of walk is along a fire-scarred ridge, with lots of open rock and views-a-plenty. The weather cooperated as we had a sunny day with a light breeze and it was not super hot (as it has been lately). As a bonus, there were blueberries everywhere that were ripe for the picking.

Being the birding dork that I am, I immediately thought you were talking about blue jays you saw on the hike. Very nice views!
When do you find time to do all this hiking?
You make time.
Howie is a good model. My beagle wouldn't sit still for her summit shots this weekend - she was too busy dodging the kid-hikers and snorfling sunflower seeds out of the dirt!
