Good evening! Mostly clear and 68 degrees in Dormansville, NY. Calm wind. The dew point is 61 degrees.

Earlier today I got home and unpacked from my extended weekend trip up to Pisceo-Powley Road. ⛺ It wasn’t perfect weather but there was times when it was quite nice and I camped near a nice swimming hole 🏊 and laid in the hammock, listening to music and reading a book. 📖 I have more pictures I’ll post in the coming days although a lot of things I saw and did weren’t exactly photographic. The clams though were good. Sunday Dinner delayed at the folks house was chicken which was pretty good.
