Kind of a hot day but until later in the afternoon the heat wasn’t that bad. 😰 I could always hop in the Deerfield River if it got too hot plus I had the fan blowing on me most of the day while working. 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. I was able to cobble together enough wood for the fire plus some camp garbage I had to burn. I also had a bag of litter 🚮 I picked up, and when burning that I found a discarded butane container which I pulled out of the fire just in time.

I think based on the latest forecast I’m going to head home 🏡 on Friday evening after work. Maybe hit the swimming hole a few times tomorrow but I don’t want to camp in the rain. And it’s likely going to be super wet here Friday night into Saturday. 💦

So after my spade ♤ of bad luck 🍀 yesterday I moved to a new campsite near the Somerset Bridge and the Airfield camping area. Not as quiet and remote as the other area, I’m close to a good swimming hole 🏊 and I have a lot more solar power and ability to enjoy the stars ✨ on a clear night. Radio 📻 reception isn’t as good so I have fewer choices on live radio here – no New Hampshire or Vermont Public Radio here.

It was a busy day, warm but not as oppressive as it’s back in the city. 🌆 I did go for a few short swims and cool downs during the day but most of the day I was up to my neck finishing up another one of those 30 page memos 📝 and then this afternoon it was a big spreadsheet project. 📊 Rained for a while, actually it poured for a while at the four o’clock hour so my final hour ⏳ of the day was spent working from inside my truck cap. Internet worked fine most of the day 📶 and I had no trouble accessing the VPN connection for all the files 📂 I needed from the server. I also used the 120 volt fan in the tent 🎪 with my laptop and that worked good to keep things nice and comfortable.

While I’m still finding litter 🚮 at the campsite and are picking it up when I find it, I am quite happy with this campsite near the swimming hole even if it’s not the remote country of yesterday. 🐺 Being able to wash and cool off in the heat 😎 makes it a lot more enjoyable.

I am thinking I will stay through Saturday morning, when it looks like it will be rainy. ☔ By then the worse of the heat wave will likely break and I will have all day to drive home at my own pace rather than rushing home before 9 o’clock or leaving after 5 pm.
