Last night it was fairly warm but we had drizzle on and off, then it poured with a pretty good thunderstorm around 2 AM. I was a little concerned about a dying Elm tree I parked under camping but it was fine.I haven’t camped on the lower part of Betty Brook Road at not since the night of Barack Obama’s acceptance speech back in 2008. It was nice down there but not a drop of radio reception. Podcasts kept me entertained. 

Enjoy your Sunday!
