I spent a lot of time today working from my laptop, enjoying the cool breeze up north here in the Green Mountains. We don’t have the heat and humidity here compared back home in the city, although the weatherman says that will change come tomorrow.

After decades of relative stability, prices in the US may be about to go through the roof β or the floor.
Relocating the fire pit
I relocated the fire pit at this campsite because it was falling apart and kind of in the middle of the campsite which limited where you could park.I carefully moved the ash and brick to the new site, building the fire pit where there was a no roots and laying down a deep layer of ash on the ground. I then leveled out, removed any ash, metal and rock from the old site, restoring it down mineral soil and removing any nails I found.
Ticks
I will have to check for ticks carefully when I get back to camp.
Probably not a good swimming hole
I hiked back to the Deerfield River from camp and decided that I shouldn’t plan on cooling down here after work. Not a lot of water for sure.
Laying back in the hammock
It was a nice evening yesterday afternoon laying back in the hammock. Bugs weren’t too bad either!
Campfire
Last night I had a big old campfire. For a while, mostly small sticks and cardboard as I wanted the fire out before bed because it’s rather dry outside.
