A Drive-Up Whiteface Mountain (Wilmington, NY) – June 2011

 Yeah, the same opening paragraph you’ve read before.  Some of these pictures were posted originally with the travel blog write-up (original link below).  Now instead of a select few, I’m sharing just about all the pictures.  Some blurry or bad shots were removed, as well as some with others who would appreciate not having their pictures posted again.  Please be sure to visit the original blog link for more details of the original visit.

 There’s an old ideal about “being a tourist in the city where you live,” as you get to experience things perhaps you haven’t seen.  That also applies for when you come back to an area where you used to live.  There’s always sights to see when you’re there, but you end up doing other shit so you never end up going to them.  So when I had the opportunity to come back to my old stomping grounds, I wanted to visit places I haven’t been to before, or it had been a while since I’d been to them.

 My last visit to Whiteface Mountain in the Adirondack Park was circa 2000.  I remember driving up to the top and having my picture taken by the elevation sign, but that was about it.  That was also in the “film camera” days, so I didn’t take a lot of pictures.  On this trip, I wanted to capture the majesty of the mountains.  Sure enough, it decided to be foggy as shit that day.  You can see by the pictures it was partly cloudy when we started on this trip, and it just got foggy later.  You do get to see some of the Adirondack Park from these pictures, but not the full extent.
