No, it's not Spuds McKenzie's older brother. (ummm .... yeah, he was that party dog in the beer commercials) These are two mountains that Howie and I climbed today in the Adirondack high peaks (near Lake Placid). The weather was nice, so I took the day off to do some hiking. We started at the end of Chipmunk Lane and did a loop up to McKenzie, followed the ridge to Moose and then came back down. It was a nice route with great views, but unfortunately .... it was very buggy. If you stopped for more than five seconds, there would be a swarm of bugs surrounding you. But, it still beat a day at the office.

In related news, I wrote a fundraising appeal about moose mysteriously disappearing from northwestern Minnesota. Over 2 decades, the population has gone from 4000 to around 230. Bizarre!
