A perfect day to hike - low humidity and cool temperatures.
Elk Lake parking lot and hike to Panther Gorge via the Elk Lake Marcy trail. We will hike over the shoulder of Pinnacle and through Marcy Swamp to get to Panther Gorge, which lies between New York's first and third highest mountains, Marcy and Haystack. This area hosts some of the most remote backcountry hiking in the Adirondacks.
Cuts, bruises, a new 46er, hiking out in the dark (13 hour day) full sky of stars, shooting stars and alas, no bear or moose.
I Albanien har man ikke glemt kunsten at bygge høstakke. Hovederhvervet i Voskopojë er i øvrigt kvægavl.
In Albania the art of haystack-building has not been forgotten. The main occupation in Voskopojë is cattle breeding.
This is how villagers in India stack hay. Stacking hay this way keeps the moisture away
during the monsoon time, and the hay inside the stack remains fresh to be consumed by the
cattle the villages own ..
In olden times, the villagers used to stock their grains within this cottage like hay hut for the same reason. But now most of the grains they grow are sold and the rest are kept in nylon woven bags for their own consumption.
8 years ago Seann and I got married right about here. I grew up visiting the Haystack Rock as a kid, talking to it, naming it (Karmen), etc. I used to cry when we had to leave it. When it came time to get married, this was the natural choice (no pun intended). Right before our wedding, my dad was diagnosed with terminal brain and lung cancer. We did not know whether he would make it to the ceremony. He did make it and even gave a toast. He dressed like a pirate as he was bald from the chemo (complete with clip on earring). He died two months later. Needless to say, our anniversary is always bittersweet for me.
This year we finally went back and had a great time (with some sadness, too).
Haystack Rock is part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and is a State protected marine environment.

Taken driving up to the Haystack Observatory in Westford, MA. I am amazed that such a serious facility is tucked in the forest just a few miles from my house.
