September 9, 2015 morning
Good morning. Currently 74 degrees and sunny as we head up to 90 plus degrees on the waxing days of summer. Make sure that you enjoy it because 90 degrees weather is probably done for at least another 10 months. The cool down happens tomorrow, and it seems unlikely we will have such warm weather again this year. The state park pools are all closed for the year. Summer as far as the government is concerned is done. The leaves are starting to turn in the Adirondacks.
Probably staying in town this weekend but if the weather is nice the following week will head up and do the Lewis County trip up to Whetstone Gulf, Otter Creek and Independence River. At some point, want to do a Schoharie trip and then I got to figure out my October plans.
