Military Surplus Camping - B-47 Crash Site - Adirondack Mountains
Hiking & Backpacking with Military Surplus Camping Gear in the Adirondacks Eastern High Peaks Region.
For this 2 day, 1 night adventure, I’ll be testing out and demonstrating my milsurp backpacking load-out, along with MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) food to keep me fueled up while I search for the remnants of a cold war era B-47 bomber that crashed on Wright Peak during the night of January 2nd, 1962.
My “big 3” for this backpacking trip are a medium sized ALICE pack, USGI Modular Sleeping bag with USGI Term-A-Rest sleeping Pad, and a USGI Poncho for shelter / rain gear. I scored each of these items for around $30. A full gear list can be found at the end of this post.
For an easier read, check out my full blog post:
No permit is required to camp in the Adirondacks, but there are rules and regulations regarding backcountry camping. You can find more information here:
Trailhead Used:
Adirondack Loj Parking Lot, 44°10'54.9N 73°57'53.6W
1002 Adirondack Loj Rd, Lake Placid, NY 12946
The Adirondack Loj parking area has room for many, many vehicles, however it is known to fill up by as early as 8:30 AM during peak season and weekends. Cost is $12 per day. If the lot fills up, there is offsite overflow parking a mile or so down the road.
I cut the opening sequence using pieces of a public domain United States Air Force Pilot's Familiarization Film for the B-47 Stratojet. If you find the B-47 interesting, it be worth a watch as well:
Trails Used:
Van Hovenberg Trail towards Marcy Dam
Algonquin Trail
Wright Peak Spur Trail
Notable Backpacking Gear Used:
Note - A lot of these items can be found on Amazon for convenience, but a local surplus shop is probably the most cost effective option, if you have one nearby.

Adirondack Christkindlmarket
Please join us at the inaugural Adirondack Christkindlmarkt as we bring a longtime Alpine tradition to the Adirondacks and make it our own.
The German word Christkindlmarkt — pronounced kris-kindel-mart — translates to Christmas Market in English. These markets originated in Germany centuries ago. Other countries and cities have adopted the tradition throughout the years. For the first time ever, we’re bringing one of these heart-warming, family-friendly events to Lake George as we celebrate the season.
Find quality, one-of-a-kind gifts as you shop with nearly 30 artisan vendors under a heated tent in the Charles R. Wood Park located on West Brook Road. There will be holiday light displays, fire pits, children’s activities, live music and entertainment, and more to be announced!
Mrs. Claus will help children write letters to Santa Friday afternoon.
This 3-day festival is happening rain, shine or snow! Admission is FREE!
It’s set to take place:
Friday, December 7, 2018 — 3 to8 p.m.
Saturday, December 8, 2018 — 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Sunday, December 9, 2018 — 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Santa’s Workshop In North Pole, NY
We are so in love with Santa's Workshop in the Lake Placid area of upstate New York! This was our first year visiting and we are sure to return as a yearly tradition. Opened in July 1, 1949, Santa's Workshop is the oldest theme park in the United States. From what I have read, it hasn't changed much since opening and it retains a charm that appeals to all ages. The kiddo was truly enchanted! There are buildings to explore and various characters to meet, including the big man himself! The rides appeal to the under 4 ft crowd. In the snow the place is really magical and a fun day out. And only a couple hours from Montreal. Highly recommend visiting in the Christmas season!

Whiteface Mountain, Lake Placid, NY 2019
While visiting the Adirondacks during Labor Day weekend 2019, we took a day trip up to Lake Placid city and to Whiteface Mountain, home of the 1932 & 1980 Winter Olympics.
What breathtaking views from the summit. You can drive up close to the summit, via Veterans Memorial Highway which is full of wonderful views, and then park at the end by the castle gift shop/ restaurant.
From the parking at the top of Veterans Memorial Highway, visitors can either enter a tunnel in the mountain to ride the elevator up to the summit, or there's the option to hike up to the summit.
This is a video of our hike up to the summit and the incredible views, and on a clear day one can see Vermont and Montreal, Canada.

The Adirondack Mountains form a massif in the northeast of Upstate New York in the United States. Its boundaries correspond to the boundaries of Adirondack Park. The mountains form a roughly circular dome, about 160 miles (260 km) in diameter and about 1 mile (1,600 m) high. The current relief owes much to glaciation.

The Best Places to Visit in New York State, USA
The Best Places to Visit in New York State, USA
New York State holds the biggest pull for visitors from around the world. The entire state of New York has plenty of attractions to keep you entertained. Besides the urban allure, culture, and shopping of Manhattan, much of New York State is still, in many ways, waiting to be discovered. The state is endowed with outstanding beauty and diversity of scenery. Although New Yorkers have long vacationed in the Catskill and Adirondack mountains, and at Long Island beaches, most have seen too little of the state between its tourist bookends, New York City and Niagara Falls. The historic Hudson Valley, a majestic river lined with elegant estates, is finally positioning itself as a destination, not just a day trip from the city.
Planning a trip to a state as large and diverse as New York involves a lot of decision making, so in this video we've tried to give some directions. We've chosen what we feel is the very best the state has to offer -- the places and experiences you won't want to miss. This video gives you an overview of New York State's highlights to get you started planning your trip.
