I am kind of bored with Piseco-Powley Road ⛺

Powley Campsite 10

I feel like I’ve explored it over and over again and it hasn’t changed much in the past ten years. In a way that’s a good thing but on the other hand it’s kind of boring. I like it but less and less as it all becomes the same. It’s an easy weekend trip as I know the are well, and not too far from home, but it does start to become all the same after a while.
