Good evening! Presidents Day Weekend is done. Next stop, Good Friday in April. Partly clear and 24 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌃 Calm breeze. Little chilly but it’s still February for a few more weeks. There is a inch of snow on the ground. ☃ Maybe more come the morning until it turns to rain? ️Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 11 am. 🌡️

It was a nice day up at Rensselaerville State Forest. 🎿 Don’t get out there much these days. Lots of shooting with an AR, not me, in the gravel pit and I passed by some trappers and a bush crafter who was camping in the back country but otherwise very quiet. It is kind of nice not that far away. I should camp up there some time too. That campsite number 2 looks quite nice and it officially designated a campsite. ⛺ Maybe Memorial Day Weekend? Just a thought.

Beautiful country out that way, I’d love to eventually live in a place like that 🐮 minus the gun 🔫 and open burning restrictions. 🔥 Plus I feel like the houses are a bit too close for comfort and I don’t want to have a place that is on a road with utility services. 🔌 Some parts of the Pennsylvania Wilds remind me of that. Going to places like Rensselaerville reminds me of how much great wild country there is out there. 🐻
