Good Morning – October 11, 2021

Good morning! Happy Columbus Day. 🍂

Partly sunny and 60 degrees at the Catskill Scenic Trail. There is a southeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 54 degrees.

You can probably guess where I’m out hiking today. 🚶 The part of the scenic trail between Grand Gorge and Stamford that I haven’t done yet. After today, I will have walked most of the trail.

Yesterday I finished reading most of JD Vance’s Hillbilly Elegy. 🤠 In many ways that book really strikes close to home, a culture I know well but also are somewhat distant from as my parents were college educated.
