A nice evening but pretty chilly. 🌃 The moon 🎑 rising and I’m sitting by the fire. This is a nice campsite with lots of sun but I’m having problems with the data service on my phone here so I’m going to have to move to a new campsite ⛺ before work so I have reliable service for walk.

The drive up here along US 7 was pretty ⛰️ especially around Sutherland. Very little traffic in Albany at rush hour, mostly because of everything is still remote work with the state. 🚘 A few parts of Kelly Stand Road are a bit rough in a few places from being so dry and washboarded.

It sure gets dark early this time of year. 🌆 I guess that’s not that surprising in the grand scheme of things, autumn is rapidly approaching and summer is rapidly fading away. But I guess it’s a good thing because everybody wants 2020 over sooner than later although I doubt there will be much toasting out New Years Eve in 17 weeks.
