Cranberry Lake pics

skcin · #1 08-14-2006, 08:46 PM

Just got back from camping (in our new pop up trailer

) at Cranberry Lake State Park in the Adirondack Mountains. What a gorgeous place. The campground itself was really nice (private sites, clean bathrooms, hot showers) and there was tons of stuff to see & do. Hiked up 2 mountains & checked out 7 waterfalls along an 8 mile stretch of the Grasse River. I want to go back. Like, this weekend.

Yup.

I'm a loser:

Dammit, hang on. Stupid photobucket won't resize some of the pics....

Let's try this again.

So clear it looked fake:

Why, oh why, does photobucket blow so hard? It's resizing some, not others. grrrr......

photobucket sucks my nuts. i use smugmug (well, i use photobucket, too, but for my digital photos i use smugmug). you have to pay for it, but it's great. the pictures you've posted so far look good, tho.

From the top of a waterfall:

Nieces on Bear Mt.:

So lush:

Hubby & nieces on a log - I'm not that adventurous - plus I'm uncoordinated & have no balance:

The water, was closing, all around me, like a glove:

looking out from Mt. Arab:

Yet another waterfall:

Self portrait. There's a huge watefall behind me, but my aim sucks

Sunset gleaming on the rocks:

Me in the Grasse River:

The peace & quiet & beauty literally stunned me:

Me at the river:

Sunset over Cranberry Lake. Sorry so big, I had to post it:

Um...okay. Those are gorgeous, but I'm freaking out, because they look exactly like my pics from my camping trip that went from last Thurs until yesterday.

What a great place. I never wanted to leave mine, either. We were plotting about eating fish and the local plants and just living there.
But seriously, I even have a waterfall pic like yours. And then, we stayed at the lake, but on the way home we stopped by these other grounds on this river that my friend often stays and fishes at. So I have lake and river pics, just like you.
Paula, will you and your pop trailer marry me???

You got some really cool shots, like the one on the tree, and the high mountain one.

Awesome pictures! Yay for making the boys cook. That was my whole outlook when I was camping.

Next time, you might have less problems with tinypic.com. You don't need an account or anything either.

I always wanted one of those trailers!
It looks beautiful there. I had a chance to go to a wedding in the Adirondack mtns., but I decided I didn't want to take the flight with my son. I should have gone.
This last weekend, I fake-camped, which means I drove 8 minutes a way to the campground in the redwoods here, where some friends were staying. I brought them water, used their fire, drank some beer, and then came home to my bed.

Too bad your trip to California will be so short, there are some amazing camp spots here (in all directions) and beer is available.

Paula, Paula, Paula

Well, as long as you insist on camping.

..that definately looks like the way to go

Has to be better than sleeping on the ground!

You know me, my idea of camping is...( reaching over the bed from some luxiourious Hotel, grabbing the phone and asking..."Ya, room service?) But enough about me!

Stunning pictures, looks like a lovely and lush area (see, we can be somewhat thankful for all the rain we have been getting this summer)
What a beautiful lake and forest...Looks so peaceful. I especially like the pic of the 4 of you looking out over the mountain...
Great pics, as usual! I am so glad you guys had a good time!!

damnit. I'm so jealous of you and Amber right now. y'all are both bringing out the country boy in me. but there's nothing this gorgeous anywhere near here. but damn it looks like you had a blast. I love your camping/vacay pics...it's so much fun to see y'all having such a good time.

I'm loving the waterfall pics the most...nature is amazing.
