Day 7 of our vacation we left Lake Placid and drove to Syracuse, NY. On the way, we stopped and hiked Panther Mountain (#18 of the Adirondacks High Peaks) and then we stopped and hiked Bald (Rondaxe) Mountain (oh, and Abby broke a nail at the former). This latter hike might have been our favorite of the trip. The hike was relative easy and there were numerous gorgeous views along the way - including and awesome ending that included another fire tower. Once we arrived in Syracuse, we cleaned up and headed to the ballpark where we watched the Syracuse Chiefs (AAA) defeat the Indianapolis Indians 8-6, followed by a nice fireworks display. We spent day 8 of our vacation with the McEuens again in Painted Post, NY where we had NY style pizza at Rico's Pizza. On the way home (officially day 9), we stopped in Erie, PA to catch one final baseball game to see the Erie Seawolves (AA affiliate for Tigers) lose 3-8 against the Binghamton Mets. Well, that about covers it ... just another spectacular Hollywood Four summer vacation.
