Last night was a surprisingly beautiful night with ample stars. After I killed the lights, I sat up for a while next to the fire. I was up until nearly 1 AM, so I got a late start this morning, and hit heavy rain on the long slog back to Albany. It was a scenic drive and US 6 has enough stoplights and hills to keep you awake. A lot of construction and detours in Pennsylvania, along with more construction on I-88 on the way home.

No coffee this morning, as I was out of coffee grounds and propane. If I wasn’t leaving and had coffee, I could have used the liquid fuel stove, alas  ended up stopping at Sheetz for coffee and mid-morning snack when I gassed up Big Red. I wasn’t nearly as low on fuel as I thought, having nearly 4 gallons of fuel left in the tank when I stopped in Port Allegheny this morning.

Made it back home and are now starting to unpack. I went out to my parents house, and will head home in a bit, and before bed, try to get the rest of the photos back on my laptop, then my camera to upload.  But we will see.
