September 21, 2015 evening

Good evening. It is currently 52 degrees and overcast with a low expected around 48 degrees. Pretty much seasonable. Tomorrow, we are looking for a high around 68 degrees and mostly cloudy. Warmer, more sunny weather returns for the second half of the week, with highs in the upper 70s. The normal high for September 22nd in Albany is 70 degrees with a low of 50 degrees.

It was a nice weekend up in Lowville for sure. It’s been a long time since I’ve been there, and was somewhat disappointed that the Whetstone Reservior was drained, but I had a lot of fun paddling and fishing with Jesse at High Falls Reservior on Saturday. I wish I could have spent more time camping up there, as there were parts of Confusion Flats I would have preferred to spend more time hiking and 4x4ing across to explore further.

Back to work tomorrow. I do not have my next adventure planned, although next weekend I’m going up to Moosefest and taking my parents up to see Moose River Plains on Saturday. Thinking of taking a week off in mid-October for a trip, my guess is the Finger Lakes and Northern Pennsylvania is the most likely location, but it’s really to be decided. I have also thought about taking a trip down to Virginia and West Virginia, with a stop-over in Central Pennsylvania, but that trip requires some detailed planning and the time is short. For early to mid-November looking to take a hunting/camping trip up to the North Country, most likely the Massena area including Deer River State Forest and the Walter Pratt Camping area at Brasher Falls State Forest. Weekend trips in the mean-time are still definately a possibility to places that can be done in a weekend — I will however have to buy firewood — because at this point camping will involve set up in the dark, and I hate using a flashlight to find firewood.
