Driving into the office today πŸ›»

With the snow and my change of plans for Christmas I had thought about riding in or even busing but traffic is going to be light today, my bike needs repairs and I just feel like driving in ain’t the end of the world especially as I plan to leave work early today.

Merry Christmas Eve. πŸŽ… Not raining like it did a few years back on Christmas Eve and things are quite white but whatever. There is a bit more work to wrap up today, it’s my last day in the office 🏒 for the year, I’m off the rest of the week through New Years Day. I’m still not fully sure what my plans are after Christmas but I do want to get away for at least three to six nights. πŸ•οΈ

There is more snow β˜ƒοΈ in a lot of places I was thinking about and I’m not sure I want to drive all the way out to the Finger Lakes. I was thinking Long Pond then head north to the Horse Camp 🐴 around New Years Eve but I’m concerned there is too much snow at Long Pond plus there is limited firewood there πŸͺ΅ and it can be a bit of a dump. Might end up just doing the Horse Camp for three nights in the middle of the end of the week and coming home for NYE. πŸŽ‡ Kind of bored with the horse camp though. East Branch Scandaga and Newcomb was another option but probably too much snow at this point. I was thinking I could camp the second half of the week at the Vanderwhacker Creek along NY 28N. 🌲 But I would rather have cell service both for emergencies but mostly for entertainment. πŸ“Ί
