John Boyd Thacher State Park

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.

Daily Update – September 23, 2022

Good morning! Chilly start our autumn season! πŸ‚

It was so dark and cold this morning, I didn’t get out of bed until seven. But it was fine, I didn’t sleep well last night.

Mostly sunny and 46 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. β˜€ There is a northwest breeze at 13 mph. πŸƒ with gusts up to 25 mph πŸ’¨πŸ’¨πŸ’¨.

Made it to a Friday. πŸ˜€ It’s been such a busy week, but I’ve found time to do some learning πŸ” even if walking has been more of a squeeze for time. ⏳ Work has been non-stop. πŸ‘£ Next week I’m hopeful I can get in more steps, or so I tell myself. Some of it’s been the weather, a lot of week has been quite rainy.

Weather Update – September 22, 2022

Friday sounds cold with that wind 🌬

Rain today, β˜” I probably should have worn my rain coat but it will look silly later on when I head home and it’s sunny but cold. 😎

57 degrees and a strong wind, despite the sun, will feel cold after the summer that didn’t seem to want to kick the bucket until it did. πŸ’¨ Saturday is going to be windy too. Going to be tough on the leaves where they’ve started to brown up and fall, but at the same time, in most places it’s really too early for autumn to be fully underway. That said, I do like the cooler weather but it will be still warm enough to have the windows open but I might want to think about more long sleeved shirts and the hoodies to wear around. πŸ‚

Daily Update – September 22, 2022

Good morning! Happy First Day of Autumn πŸ‚

Autumn doesn’t start until after 9 pm tonight so first day is an exaggeration but tomorrow will certainly feel autumn like.

Rain and 64 degrees in Delmar, NY. β˜” There is a southwest breeze at 7 mph. πŸƒ. The dew point is 63 degrees. The skies will clear around 1 pm.

Today is was thinking, should I wear my rain coat? β˜” I decided against it as it wasn’t raining at nine when I went to catch the late local bus 🚍 as I was running πŸƒ late and I was drowsy with the dark morning and got working on some mapping analysis.
