I am thinking tomorrow I will go up to Rensselearville State Forest to do some skiing, ⛷assuming there is enough snow out there. It’s a bit of a trip up there but I plan to go out to my parents house for Sunday dinner and I haven’t been up that way in quite a while, and it would be nice to spend an afternoon in the hilltowns. Tomorrow morning I have some other stuff  to do first. Then I am going out to my parents house for Sunday dinner.🍲 I might also want to get to the library tomorrow to upload some photos I took on Saturday and maps I made up. Depends on the time, I don’t want to get out skiing too late.
