Nice start to the morning, ☀ going to take camp down relatively early then head up to Glimmerglass. It should be a nice summer day to explore the park, 🏞 do some fishing 🎣 and go for a swim. 🏊🏻‍♂️ I did check online to make sure the beach is open.

It was going to have eggs 🥚 🍳 this morning but I forgot to get pan spray or bring oil so I think instead I’ll have cereal 🥣 and toast. Much quicker clean up and take down that way. I’m hoping to have camp taken down by nine 9⃣ o’clock.

Looking ahead, there are 4 weeks until Average High 70 🎑 when the sun will be setting at 6:58 pm with dusk at 7:26 pm.
