Good evening! Made it out to the Finger Lakes.

Overcast and 72 degrees at the Finger Lakes National Forest. ☁️ There is a south breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 60 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 11 am.

Tent camping tonight ⛺ as none of the campsites I have wanted were available. It was kind of a hazy, gray day, I went to both Montezuma and the Audabon Center but all the birds 🐦 I saw were pretty common as it was mid day. Wasn’t a bad day, and I’m on vacation but not a real great day either.

The best thing I did today was just distracted myself, 🤹🏻‍♂️ and ignored my anxiety. My fears are not grounded in reality, they are actually largely irrational. Things are pretty good when I’m not stuck in that really bad mind loop ➿ cycle I’ve been stuck in lately. Continuing to work with Lynne on the Pine Bush problem, we are getting closer on crafting the right message.

I might camp here the rest of the week ⛺ or I might move somewhere else. I doubt I’ll go all the way to the Allegheny National Forest. Could I go down to Wellsboro for a few nights? Maybe but I am no fan of camp ground camping even when it’s primative. I like my privacy 🔏.

I took a handful of pictures today 📸 but I’ve decided to no longer take pictures of places I’ve been before unless I see something new or unique, or have a better way to capture things. My blog has gotten so bloated lately.
