John Boyd Thacher State Park, is situated along the Helderberg Escarpment, one of the richest fossil-bearing formations in the world. Even as it safeguards six miles of limestone cliff-face, rock-strewn slopes, woodland and open fields, the park provides a marvelous panorama of the Hudson-Mohawk Valleys and the Adirondack and Green Mountains. The park has volleyball courts, playgrounds, ball fields and numerous picnic areas with nine reservable shelters. Interpretive programs are offered year-round, including guided tours of the famous Indian Ladder Trail. There are over 25 additional miles of trails for summer hiking and mountain biking, and winter cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and snowmobiling.

Good morning! What day is it? The Day Before Thanksgiving, of course. 🦃
Cool and quiet this morning as I watch the sun is rising as a great big fire ball into red skies.
Partly sunny and 23 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☀ Calm wind. Things will start to thaw out at around 8 am. 🌡️
Colder start this morning 🌅 then yesterday but not bad for late November. Quiet as the schools are closed and a lot of people have today off from work. I am working part of the day downtown though may leave early for the holiday.
Out for the morning walk at 6:45 AM. 🚶♀️ I think that’s a good time to walk. Not too dark but also it’s in Delmar versus the plaza. I end up getting in more steps that way. 👣
Saturday’s forecast improves while Sunday gets rainier ☔
I think my hope of getting out of town after the Thanksgiving holiday is rapidly declining. It looks very cold and wet for Sunday. It’s frustrating, especially as it’s another long weekend which seems like it will be wrecked by bad weather on both ends of it. Maybe I can do a day hike somewhere, though it’s rifle season so I’m not going to go somewhere annoying people. Maybe Thacher Park. Or maybe the forecast will improve.

I think it’s been kind of a werid November 🦃 very mild and then cold and windy. After beautiful October weekends all but the first weekend of November have been rainy or cold. But today is quite nice.
Yesterday was ethics training. 🏛️ All the things government workers shouldn’t do and whether or not you can accept that Waterford Crystal bowl from your labbyist friend. I’ve been to Waterford a few times, I’m not sure why you’d want a crystal bowl 🥣 from there. Probably loaded with heavy metals from Norlite hazardous waste incinerator.
But the nice thing is that the training ended a bit before five 5⃣ so I was able to catch the earlier express bus 🚍 home. It was an electric bus⚡which was super quiet when we were stuck in rush hour traffic. Remarkably hot two, they had the electric heat pumps really cranked up. And so was the Capitol where I had my ethics training.
Warmer this week than crapping out after Thanksgiving ☀ 🦃 🌧️
Rain not snow but I still was hoping to get out of town this weekend for a few days post turkey day. I might still take off the first half of next week, depending on the weather trends come later in the week. The following weekend I am leading the Pine Bush Hike, and then I might have Jury Duty after that, so this is probably my best hope to get out of town for the weekend. But a lot can change in 5-6 days.
