What comes next in August ☀

|

Sunday, August 4th I will be driving back to Albany as summer vacation comes to a close. Labor Day is early this year, it is September 2nd. I plan to work remotely on August 30th from Speculator and will likely end my summer the traditional way on Harmon Hill off Old Military Turnpike.

That leaves three remaining weeks in August. I assume one will be wet and rainy, good weather to stay in town. The remaining weekends will likely be allotted as follows:

  • Weekend, maybe an extended weekend at the Potholers, preferably camping at House Pond
  • Weekend at Schoharie County, Mine Kill Pool and maybe ride the Catskill Scenic Trail and through the Schoharie Valley

Come September I plan to work most Fridays remote and will need to camp places with good cellular service. Rensselearville State Forest, Speculator and Green Mountains National Forest, specifically Somerset Airfield Road and Prospect Mountain Road are good locations for that.

Hot day today! 😰

Already warm in Dresden though cool down by Seneca Lake and I expect the Kueka Outlet Trail in the gorge to get nice and cool. Got clams and corn for later, the key will be to keep them cold in the heat. Might buy even more ice in the evening. As much as I want float on Seneca Lake, I’m realizing I’m pretty close to Geneva at this point and I should check it out. That said, it’s hot!

Maybe I can put the tube out at Seneca Lake State Park and float there without Robert Moses’s men yelling at me, I think they closed the beach a few years back due to water pollution in favor of splash pads on the beach. That said, I find the Northern Finger Lakes area to be flat and boring!
