A ROMANTIC ADIRONDACK ANNIVERSARY GETAWAY
Jamie & Brad
  June 5, 2004 - June 9, 2004

Meet Jamie & Brad
Romantic Getaway Vacation in the Adirondacks. Meet Jamie and Brad for PA during their Summer 4th year Anniversary Getaway.
Jamie & Brad arrived at on June 5, 2004 to celebrate their 4th year anniversary in the Adirondacks.
Remote kayaking, hiking, mountain biking trails and romance was the plan.
Their plan was some kayaking, mountain biking, and rest and relaxation.
Jamie and Brad enjoyed their Adirondack Vacation along with their first stay in a Yurt.
We learned that they are in process of building their new home in Pennsylvania and are looking forward to getting a dog.  We did offer Popcorn, but they weren't quite ready.
Crows Nest was their option for romance and solitude during their Adirondack NY State getaway.
Jamie and Brad opted for the Crow's Nest Yurt and had a fine adjustment to the new accommodation.
A remote romantic wedding anniversary spent in the Mountains of the Adirondacks.
The first night of their arrival they opted to check out their new surroundings and plan for tommorrows mountain biking adventure along the Powley Piseco Road Trails.
Brad loves the outdoor recreation along with his football games. We learned that Jamie even purchased tickets to a game for Brad to attend, and he did enjoy his present.
Brad we learned is a teacher that also enjoys football and the outdoors.
We did learn a few things about kayaking during Jamie and Brads stay and we are greatful for the new information along with some remote access routes they choose to explore during their stay in the Southern Adirondacks.
The following day Brad & Jamie departed for Powley Piseco Road for their mountain bike expedition - Big Alderbed Lake was the destination.
Jamie unfortunately did take a spill.
We also learned that Jamie does do lectures along with her biology and employment. If was very interesting to learn the depth that a job can bring, while also finding someone that finds their job rewarding and interesting.
Jamie we learned is a biologist for the National Park Service for the Upper Delaware Scenic & Recreational River (UPDE) and also loves the outdoors.  Upon their return to camp they decided on an outdoor fire and some rest and relaxation.
THIS WILL BE THE NEXT B2B NEWSLETTER OF THE NEGLECT ONE
Popcorn also decided on the rest and relaxation on a ploy for the upcoming dinner.  VERY NEGLECTED YOU KNOW!
BLACK FLIES - BLACK FLIES - BLACK FLIES - NEED WE SAY MORE
Jamie and Brad also decided on some remote kayaking.  The black flies had already left Bleecker for the season, but were in full force along Powley Road in Arietta, NY.
Jamie did survive the Adirondack Black Flies during their vacation to the Adirondacks.
Brad got away with a few bites, but Jamie took the brunt of the bites.  We applied the Calamine to help relieve the itching prior to their anniversary retreat back to the yurt.  
During their wedding anniversary trip, Jamie and Brad also took in Woods Lake and did want to try a Cathead Mountain hike (which unfortunetly is now closed due to an easement issue).

HOPEFULLY MORE PICTURES TO COME FROM JAMIE AND BRAD'S COLLECTION; DURING THEIR ADIRONDACK ADVENTURE
"We came to Back To Basics to celebrate our 4th year Anniversary in the peace and solitude of the great outdoors.  We throughly enjoyed our first ever Yurt experience and slept like babies next to the warmth of the woodstove for the first two nights.  
We enjoyed the surroundings and the setting of Back To Basics.  So much great wilderness in the Southern Decks to see that our short stay wasn't nearly long enough to experience it all, though we did spend a day mountain biking, a day hiking and a day kayaking.
Great hosts that instantly make you feel comfortable.  Thanks so much for the chocolate covered strawberries too - such a treat!
Don't believe them when they tell you the black flies aren't bad in the Adirondacks.  Just ask to see the picture "I got hammered"!"
