Today was a day of outdoor adventure in the Adirondacks. We began by heading out to Ferd's Bog. Ferd's Bog is located a pretty short distance from our camp at Antlers. It was a short hike from where we left our vehicles to the actual bog. It was an amazing experience for me to actually have the opportunity to walk out onto a living bog. I was fascinated to observe wild pitcher plants on the bog. I have seen pictures and learned about these carnivorous plants before but have never had the opportunity to see them in person, in their natural habitat. From the bog we hiked to the base of Black Bear Mountain. Black Bear Mountain is located in the town of Inlet. From the base of the mountain to the top and back is a total of around four and a half miles. This was a scenic and peaceful hike. We also enjoyed a nice break at the summit for lunch. Overall it was a beautiful day to spend outside.
