Good evening! Mostly clear and 71 degrees at the Green Mountain National Forest. There is a south breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 67 degrees. The muggy weather ends Tuesday around 11 pm. 😓

Kind of a hot day but until later in the afternoon the heat wasn’t that bad. 😰 I could always hop in the Deerfield River if it got too hot plus I had the fan blowing on me most of the day while working. Busy day at work but I did get to hit the swimming 🏊 hole a few times. Cooled off enough to have a little fire.

One of the locals mentioned that there is a place up the road that sells firewood 🔥 something I’ll have to keep in mind for future visits. I was able to cobble together enough wood for the fire plus some camp garbage I had to burn. I also had a bag of litter 🚮 I picked up, and when burning that I found a discarded butane container which I pulled out of the fire just in time.

I think based on the latest forecast I’m going to head home 🏡 on Friday evening after work. Maybe hit the swimming hole a few times tomorrow but I don’t want to camp in the rain. And it’s likely going to be super wet here Friday night into Saturday. 💦
