Good evening. I hope you had a good holiday weekend and enjoyed your Easter.  For a little while longer we will have partly cloudy skies but more clouds creep in around midnight. Currently 47 degrees. The Waning Gibbons Moon moon is visible in the east. Rain and 52 degrees expected for tomorrow morning. The sun will be rising at 6:43 AM on Monday.

I had a good day, although I got kind of dehydrated, sunburn and a bit sick out hiking back from Middleburgh Cliff. The trail was a bit more up and down then I had remembered from hiking it years ago, and while the morning was cold, the sun came out and without shade from the leaves, it got very hot int he woods quicky.

Once I was fully rehydrated, I was a feeling achy but better, but I should have brought more then 40 oz water with me, wore a hat and lots of sunscreen. At least I didn’t die or have to be hospitalized for heat stroke. This time of year with no shade and cold mornings can get deceptively hot and get a nasty sunburn. Still pretty achy this evening, and we will see in the morning on how sunburnt I got. Hopefully no pealing skin or reddish skin.

I got back to my truck about 5 PM, which was much later then expected, but after getting overheated on the trail I had to stop, and I also ended up stopping several times to make phone calls for work. But being only 40 minutes from home, I was able to make it out to my parents house at a reasonable hour for Easter dinner. Regardless it was a nice hike out to Middleburgh Cliff, even if the hiking was a little more vigorous then first expected.

Regardless, it was a good day. Got my wash done and I think I’ll be in bed by midnight. Got much of my gear unpacked, and while the cooler and buckets need to be washed, that will have to wait until morning. I got my clothes put away. I have some more gear to get out of the truck, but I think I want to clear out the bed of my truck as I need to fix some wiring in the truck cap and need room to take a bunch of bottles and cans to the transfer station. Want to get everything kind of inventoried and ready for the spring camping season too.
