Third Lake, Arietta and Remsen Falls to Nelson
Third Lake, Arietta
I hiked to Third Lake today (no not that one). This one is in Arietta. 8 miles on a beautiful sunny day. The Adirondack mud season is in full swing. I passed a snake sunning himself on the trail and only one other couple while on my way out. Sharon K.

Remsen Falls to Nelson Lake
Starting at the Bixby Rd parking area, some tramps (implementing strong social-distancing) hiked 16 miles to the Remsen Falls lean-to and then on to the Nelson Lake lean-to. As soon as we exited the car at the parking area, we were engulfed in flies that had no concept of what 6 feet is. As we starting moving, at a fast cardio pace, the flies had difficulties keeping up. Lunch overlooking the falls at Remsen lean-to was beautiful and fly-free due to the cool breeze and not to mention prosperous for Paul.
