I went grocery shopping, ending up at Walmart. 🍜 I bought lots of groceries but forgot frozen corn 🌽. I really should just get fresh sweet corn and maybe something like tomatoes 🍅. That would be a good treat. Sure not as easy as opening a bag but more flavorable. I was hungry and my freezer was bare but I should be good for a while. I also gased up Big Red ⛽ so his tank is good and full.

I think tomorrow I will get a fairly early start and hike the Harding Road Trail 🚶 above Palenville and the Kaaterskill Clove. Probably start from White Road Equestrian lot just because it’s a bigger parking 🅿 area for my big truck and then hike up along the escarpment. Some good elevation gain and hopefully some nice views and less popular than other trails. 📷
