Camping up at Stoney Pond State Forest – November 5, 2023

Andy | December 9, 2023

Mid-weekend on my three-day weekend spent up at Stoney Pond State Forest in early November, only a week since I was in West Virginia. Wasn't always the sunniest or warmest weekend but getting away to Madison County is always fun.
