A Pleasant Thanksgiving πŸ¦ƒ

That’s the best way to describe it. Maybe not so much if you are a turkey. The weekend is more marginal but not as wet as originally thought but now more clouds and less showers. I’m considering going to the Adirondacks but it depends on how cold and wet Friday is.

Daily Update – November 24, 2022

Good morning! Happy Thanksgiving πŸ¦ƒ

Mostly sunny and 29 degrees at the Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. β˜€ Calm wind. Things will start to thaw out at around 9 am. 🌑️

Decided to leave around day break for a hike out to Five Rivers. 🐦 Frosty morning but it’s not expected to last. Already warming up. Discovered the start of the Fisher Trail is the same distance from home as hiking the roads 🚢 to the Discovery Center but with sidewalks and not the narrow shoulders of NY 443.

I want to try to hike at least 10 miles today πŸ¦ƒ before the turkey feast at my parents house so I’ll probably also hike down Meads Lane to Van Dyke, and then later up Bennett Hill which is on the way to the folks house. Not a real clear day but it definitely was frosty start to the morning. Then turkey time with my sister, niece and parents. πŸ‘ͺ

I was told Thanksgiving dinner was from 2-3 pm 🍽 so I better not take too long on Bennett Hill today. Hate to get there at 2:59 pm and only like have a minute to eat dinner. 🐢 I would be sad if the dog got all my Thanksgiving dinner.
