A Foggy Day on Top of 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.

 As it was a clear day at the lower elevation, but when we got to the top of Whiteface Mountain it had become very foggy.  That cut down on the visibility.  I was really hoping to capture some pictures which really showed the distance of how far you could view from the top.  Driving up the mountain requires you to go up the Veteran’s Memorial Highway, and there was a nice lodge at the top.  From there you could get a little higher either via a small elevator within the mountain, or by some stairs up the exterior.  You know I went for the stairs.

 You see a couple pictures of me holding a magazine.  That was Where When How, which was published by the Turks & Caicos Islands tourism board.  It was a contest to have your picture taken with the magazine in a “far away” location to get a free subscription.  One of the pictures here got me my third free subscription.  While the views I could see were great, the highlight of the trip was spending the time with my parents.
