On this day in 1969, the $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills are officially withdrawn from circulation. 💵 After this date, if you wanted to buy a large purchase in cash or bribe a politician, you needed a lot of hundred dollars in bills. They had last been printed in 1945, and were finally dropped from circulation in 1969, in part as an effort to reduce corruption and money scams. 👔 I just remember that time I was walking during lunch and two men were handing off a big stack of hundred 💯 dollar bills 💰in an alleyway. I’m sure they were just buying a car or something and it wasn’t some mid level bureaucrat taking a bribe. Shit doesn’t happen like that in Albany, which is America’s most ethical capital.

I keep finding litter 🚯 around this campsite which I keep picking up. Some people are pigs. 🐽 I know that when I camp, anything that doesn’t completely burnt gets packed out for recycling. ♻ I don’t put aluminum or glass in the fire pit and while I may burn out cans to clean them of food residue, I always clean out the fire pit and remove the cans and any unburnt plastic or similar residue. I bury my poop 💩 and I try to leave wood at the fireplace and tidy up the site before I leave. Nobody wants to see or smell your pile of poop or deal with your garbage. 🚮

Busy day at work but I did get to hit the swimming 🏊 hole a few times. Cooled off enough to have a little fire.

One of the locals mentioned that there is a place up the road that sells firewood 🔥 something I’ll have to keep in mind for future visits.
