I Already Miss Chenango County.

Last “extended” weekend, I took a “vacationette”  to Chenango County, which was a camping-hiking-sight-seeing trip. It was quite a bit of fun, to get away from the Albany area, and explore the wilds of this area, nearly 3 hours away. A rural county, with much of land either in form of forest or farm land, it much different then the urban life that I live everyday in Albany.

It was nice to get away from the city.

I enjoyed seeing the farms, the hills, the mountains, and valleys. I enjoyed exploring the vast state forests, and camping in woods alone with nobody to bother me. I enjoyed the campfire and cooking over the campstove. And I enjoyed the cold of early spring.
