The following audio log covers my first day of a 4 day journey on the Tongue Mountain Range, Lake George, NY. It is Sunday, October 17, 2010; the foliage is just past peak, but there are still excellent photo opportunities to be had.

I start at the southwest trailhead off 9N, where the Five Mile Point Trail leads to the heart of the Tongue Mountain Range Trail. I head south on the Tongue Mountain Range, accidentally passing Five Mile Point, as it is not well marked.
Backtracking to Five Mile Point, I reach the summit with minimal effort. Although there are nice brief views on the summit and a lean-to, there is no nearby water source, and the lean-to has a hole in it. I decide to backtrack at the trail juncture for the Tongue Mountain Range and Five Mile Point. I set up camp near a brook, where I will end each day, thus allowing me to drop the majority of my gear in one spot.
