Today we had a lovely drive to the Visitors Interpretive Center (VIC) in Paul Smiths (town). This is like a National Park Visitor Center and has a naturalist on staff and very nice paths for hiking. We decided to hike the woods path which was close to 2 miles. It didn't feel that long, but it certainly was beautiful. You'll see how pretty it was in the photos, but one thing you can't see in the photos was how it smelled. The trees smelled so great in some place, it was just like Christmas. You know, that pine aroma, or in this case, Balsam Fir... Oh I just wanted to bottle it and take it home!
My back was KILLING me today and I could barely walk at first, but it stretched out after a while and it should start getting better now. Why oh why does this happen to my back? Maybe it is sciatica? Who knows, all I can say is my lower back, really my hips, are killing me and I can't bend over or pick up my left leg too far without cringing in pain... It gets better tomorrow and the next day, so don't worry too much about me!
After the Visitors Center we went back to the campsite to get ready for leaving tomorrow. What a bummer that it is almost time to leave, but at least we'll be going on to Camp Wildwood for 2 more relaxing weeks! Yeah!!!
