Looking out at the end of Lows Lake right above the dam. I've done this portage a few times, and I bet the lake from here with the lowwater requires multiple portages as one goes through the area.
In other words, how little time can I spend here in Albany, in my un-air conditioned apartment. Consideration of work-in-person requirements, costs, weather and other community events are on my mind.
Brought my bike inside the office, 🚴 and stored it in the office overnight. The guy at the front desk gave me a bit of a look as I hauled it into the office last night, but he didn’t say anything. Probably because I am paid like twice what he is, being a director. And I have that private office overlooking the old city garbage dump so I could lock it at away. I brought the wheel home on the shuttle bus 🚀 which actually does not contain a rocket, and the city bus home. Repaired the tire — actually swapped out for other tube I patched. Did the same thing this morning, put the wheel on the bike and now it’s sitting back outside, ready for me to ride later either a lunch time or home at the end of the day if it’s not too hot. 🥵
First off the upcoming weekend, I want to go to Vermont 🌲 either Prospect Mountain Road or maybe Somerset Airfield Road, which I’m happy is open now. Not going to be a super warm weekend, but going to be sunny. The thing that gives me pause is now the rain showers threaten to persist into Friday evening, and I don’t want to be setting up camp in the rain. Somerset Airfield road offers the option of lots of miles of dirt road to ride that is relatively flat bar a few big hills like just beyond Shep Meadow, and the Deerfield River swimming hole. Prospect Mountain Road is closer, and I could ride/walk down to Lake Hannock.
The alternative remains to do just one overnight and hammock camp ⛺ in Northern Schoharie County and spend one or more days most of the day observing the Gas Up exhibits up close without dad needing to rest or keep going. Or I could just do Thacher Park and the Nature Bus though I don’t want to do that. Tha said, I just kind of want a quiet full weekend in the woods, I’m exhausted after this week. Come back late on Sunday, go to the laundromat and stock up for the next time I can escape town. Or maybe I just do the overnight, and get ready for leaving on Tuesday. Maybe that’s a better option — put off Somerset Airfield Road for later in July or uAuust, on a weekend when I might have to work part of the weekend.
I need to check staffing in my office, but Wednesday is a holiday, Juneteenth ✊🏿 and I’m thinking with the heat wave coming, 😅 I should planning on heading north come Tuesday evening after work to beat the heat. I need to see if I can take off Thursday and Friday of next week, so I could have a real long weekend. Can’t stay at the same campsite all those days, but I’m thinking I might head up to Spectulator-area for the first few days — in case any work projects come in and to paddle the Kunjamunk or similiar rivers, then head down to the Potholers and Piseco-Powley Road come Thursday or Friday and either camp at the House Pond Campsite or somewhere else.
