Good evening! Partly  cloudy and 73 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a south breeze at 7 mph. The dew point is 71 degrees. Making for some pretty sticky weather for packing everything up for heading up to the Adirondacks for the weekend. Going to be a nice late summer weekend. Right now there is some clearing but the skies will become mostly clear tomorrow around 11 am.

Went out for my evening walk a bit earlier then normal. Got back, gassed up my truck, and bought a few groceries and the supplies I will need for camping. Packed my truck and put the kayak on the roof. 

Decided to head up to the Adirondacks for the weekend. I’m going to camp up at White House or Pumpkin Hollow, and go to the Wells or Speculator Beach. Do some fishing then either paddle the flatwater section of the Sacandaga River or maybe Elm Creek. Do some fishing. And generally enjoy the beautiful weather.
