While I got to bed by 11 last night in the truck, I didn’t sleep well, and I woke up early, as I wanted to get home early, and technically I was supposed to have a (free) permit to camp at Stoney Pond, πas it’s not yet the off-season which runs from October through April.π

The rumble of the sportsman’s pick up, the headlights in the distance are a sign that morning is soon to be broken, that I must head east on the US 20 as I must head back to Albany on this rather foggy morning.
