I tell you, going from the Watkins Glen State Park Pool to the Mine Kill pool is an enormous step down. The pool is so much smaller and shallow. But at least three cloud has passed by the sun and there is a nice breeze. The sun is still quite warm.
As we head into the six o’clock hour, the cloudy morning is but a memory. The skies are blue especially with the polarizing sunglasses. A definitely nice afternoon. Nice evening with the dew point rapidly dropping.
Next I’m going to head to camp and cook some dinner. Probably skip fishing this evening but maybe tomorrow morning. If I had camp already set up my plans might be different.
