A few weekends after camping in the Catskills we camped in the Adirondacks by Indian Lake. We managed to get a really cool campsite right on the edge of the lake with a great view.

We spent the day swimming in the Lake out to one of the little islands and hiking around the campsite. The weather was great (apart from one little thunderstorm) and it was pretty quiet even though the campsite was busy.

On the Sunday we drove along Indian Lake up to Blue Mountain and hiked up to the top. It was cloudy but dry when we started and the higher we got the closer the rain got. It was pretty steep near the top but it was a really nice hike through the woods. Just as we got to the clearing at the top of the mountain the rain really started. Not just a bit of drizzle, but completely soaked in 30 seconds type of rain! It meant we didn't have a view from the top (which was supposed to be amazing) but maybe we'll do it again sometime. The rain also made hiking back down the steep rocks a little more interesting, but I managed to stay on my feet somehow. By the time we got back to the car it had stopped raining (of course). We stopped at a cool little restaurant on the way home (where it rained again) and all in all, in was a good weekend. Really do enjoy the Adirondacks!
