Summertime! πŸ–οΈ And the livin' is easy. Or so we will pretend, for a few minutes spent in the willderness in the swimming hole. And my mind drifts to afternoons at the Potholers in the heat which will certainly return once the black flies go into the hiding.

Re-wrote Photo Uploader for the Blog

It makes it much easier for me to upload photos, automatically scaling and allowing for bulk uploads. My hope is post many real-time and other high quality photos of my adventures in the coming weeks.

Farms on the Outskirks of Delmar

Farms on the Outskirks of Delmar

Riding my mountain bike out to Five Rivers I often observe the Posted Signs to see who owns the farms and farmland in the still agricultural area just outside of Delmar. While this might not be all of the farm holdings in the area, this covers the major parcels and owners -- LaGrange, Haskell, Hope, Jersey Meadows, Lyman, Mead, Neff, Preska, Walenmaier and Vadney.

Back to the Finger Lakes, Again?

I am probably going to do the Finger Lakes National Forest again for summer vacation. Mid-day Friday through the following Sunday, nine days in mid-July. Seems like it’s ordinary and boring, but I always find new ways to entertain myself in the Finger Lakes, new places to explore and enjoy. There is something nice about knowing where I’m going, what to expect, great places to swim, eat, hike and bike not far from camp.

Nutten Hook – Stockport Middle Ground

Have you have paddled out from Stockport Station boat launch to Stockport Middle Ground or Nutten Hook and camped at the free, primitive campground on the Hudson River? Just watch for the tides, they can make it difficult to get in and out of the Stockport Station Kayak Launch.
