Thirty miles each way

I thought about driving out to Capital Region WMA and Cowee State Forest to spend the day poking around there, but I decided against it as the work project that came in this morning took up a good portion of the morning, then by the time I got back home and cooked lunch it was starting to cloud up – but mainly it was that I punched the address in my GPS and it said it was 30 miles each way, so figure 70 mile round trip  driving. I just didn’t want to burn up that much gas, plus it’s not like it’s a pleasant drive with a lot of it on expressway until I get to the congested suburban NY 43 through Sand Lake, then out Tabor Road to Dutch Church which looked to be slow and twisty.

So I ended up riding my bike this afternoon to Five Rivers and spending until dusk just loafing around, listening to an audio book about Midwestern Politics and just kind of hanging out, playing with the camera, snapping some photos and just wasting time. The wind was roaring all afternoon, so I didn’t really feel like going for much of a ride, and I just wanted a quiet afternoon to listen to the audio book and loaf around in woods. Maybe it was a real waste of time, but so be it. Wasn’t the nicest afternoon ever once it clouded up, but at least it was mild.
