Watkins Glen 📍

Good afternoon! Spending a little time at the Watkins Glen Library after kayaking on Cayuta Lake and getting soaked. 📚

It’s a pretty nice library, in my book. But then again, it’s hard to pass up a public library for free wi-fi. And there is something nice about connecting up to the unlimited internet, 📶 especially now with my phone broken until I can replace it next week.

Cloudy and damp, 72 degrees at the Watkins Glen Public Library. ☁ There is a south breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 66 degrees.

While I stayed out on Cayuta Lake probably too long, until it was pouring rain very hard 🌧 it was fine and I got warmed up in my truck. ♨️ The defroster plus heat set to 90 degrees warms up quick. 😅 Cayuta Inlet on Cayuta Lake in Odessa is a really nice paddle. 🛶 I saw a bald eagle. 🦅 6/10 mile to first big Beaver dam but you could go father. Three smaller beaver dams but you can break over them. 🐻 Also saw a Great Blue Heron, ducks, snapping turtle, lots of flowers and wildlife. 🦆

Last night was pleasant, had a little fire 🔥 but didn’t stay up very late as I was tired after the hiking at Texas Hollow State Forest. That view from the Finger Lakes Trail along Carlies Road was super nice. I will have to run out to my truck and get the camera 🤳 so I can upload some of the photos.
