The Trip During the Heat of Summer.

Last summer during some of the hottest days of the year, I went up to the Potholers and Piseco-Powley Road for a four-day, three-night trip. Just long enough that I wouldn’t have to get a camping permit.

That was the weekend that it was in the upper 90s with heat indexes in the low 100s in Albany, but I didn’t mind, because I spent most of my days down at the potholers.

 Where I Spent Many Days

Despite the heat, the water was nice and cold. And when I got back to camp the beer was delicious.

Maybe not the most exotic trip ever, but it was nice to escape the heat for a few days in the wilderness.
