I’m glad a more normal summer returns 🏖

Last summer was such an odd summer with the pandemic and Piseco-Powley Road closed except from the north. Maybe it was good as it slowed the pandemic crowds down but I’ve been coming here for years in the summer for the Potholers and was devastated last year when the southern entrance was closed.

Now remote work from the Adirondacks was fun but I’m glad my weekends are mostly work free and time off is actually time disconnected and not time remote working from the Adirondacks. I just like the separation and I like the quiet away from the internet when I can read and write without the distractions of the internet.

Plus last summer was just odd with social distancing. It was odd to ask time off for a vacation – something that seemed taboo during a pandemic. Mask wearing or in my case the bandana over the face was uncomfortable and you always had the fear of getting COVID-19.

Probably this summer I’ll do my usual three hot summer weekends up at the Potholers. I’m glad, it’s nice seeing the regulars and things returning back to normal.
