Good morning! 65 degrees on this Christmas Eve and clearing. We are looking at a 70 degrees with you partial  clearing by evening then mostly clear by early Christmas morning for the full Christmas moon.

Today it’s off to get packed for camping and to the store to pick up some groceries. Later, I’ll probably go for a hike maybe in the Holt Preserve or Five Rivers Education Center. Then Christmas Dinner at my parent’s house.

Tomorrow the plan is to get up early and leave by 7 or 8, then head to Glimmerglass State Park to explore the hiking trails at thlat state park. Then get lunch in Cooperstown if anything is open then explore Basswood Pond State Forest. Then camp at Cherry Ridge Campground. Should be a great night with a big full moon.

With the rain coming on Saturday afternoon, I’ll probably have a nice breakfast cooked over charcoal and break camp. Probably will stay up late, so won’t get that early of a start. But it will still be a nice weekend.
