Don't you just love it when you stumble upon more litter along the shoreline of the Hudson River?

First time I've ever been up to Upper Tenant Creek Falls. While this used to be a just a herd path along the river bed, in recent years it's become a well-blazed trail mostly out of the river bed. Small but pretty falls.

A nice weekend ahead 👍
May 1st and spring turkey 🦃 starts Sunday. I’m heading up north this weekend, I might check out Moss Island on Sunday and then take NY 5S and NY 162 home. Should be cold enough at night to keep the black flies down but after today the wind should slack and not be quite so cold.

Daily Update – April 29, 2022
Good morning! Yeah, it’s a Getaway Friday! 🏕️
The plan is to head north after work. Things are mostly packed up and I have groceries and a plan where to park today and then head right to camp after work.
Sunny and 37 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 There is a northwest breeze at 11 mph. 🍃 with gusts up to 21 mph 💨💨💨.
Another blustery red flag 🚩 spring day. But the wind should die down this evening 🌃 and the weekend quite nice. Cold enough that I don’t expect a lot of black flies up north – I’m not bringing the screen tent 🎪 but I will pack DEET. Probably no camp fire 🔥 tonight due to the wind but maybe tomorrow a small one if things aren’t too windy and dry up north.
Figured out a good place to park 🅿 and catch an express bus downtown without the hassles of parallel parking which I am so out of the habit of doing since the pandemic. I think this will work based on what I read in the internet. Gives me the option to avoid the Thruway at rush hour if traffic is heavy. 🚘
Bought eggs and sausage for breakfast 🍳 up at camp. It’s been a long time since I’ve had that. Today was oat meal for breakfast 🥣 which was good with lots of fresh, well frozen fruit.
Fueled up this morning, ⛽ gas price was more than listed on the sign. Gas prices are escalating again due to Russia cutting off natural gas to counties that support Ukraine 🇺🇦 and when you don’t have natural gas you switch to oil 🛢. Still better than a lot of gas prices.
I can bitch a lot about inflation 📊 but I make good money 💵 and I like to travel. Sure I’d like to invest more but I also need to live and pay the bills. My portfolio is growing well and I’m in better shape than a lot of people. I will be able to own my own land eventually.
