Lost...
I must admit that we got a little lost. The sign to the falls is only about 1/4 of a mile in the trail but we missed it. We were busy taking pictures of the kids. We crossed the bridge when we shouldn't have. We ended up hiking probably about another mile and a half before we turned around and hiked that mile and a half back and then another half mile to the falls.
The fun thing is that Abby and Calvin can only walk for so long. I carried Calvin on my back in a carrier and carried Abby most of the way by her hanging on to my front. Needless to say that I am a wee bit tired and sore. Three plus miles of carrying two kids!
Our slight detour did lead us to another adventure which the kids really enjoyed - frog hunting. We came across a few frogs, but they were too quick and slippery. I used to be able to catch them with ease when I was younger. I must be out of shape. Plus it was a little hard with Calvin on my back. I know, excuses, excuses.

One nice thing about getting lost in the Adirondacks, it's a beautiful adventure no matter what trail you are on! Actually, the trail you took eventually (about 5 miles) takes you to Wilcox Lake. I've hiked it before, plus we ran it on our snowmobiles this past winter. It is a pretty hike, but a 10 mile round trip would have been pretty hard carrying the kids!
