It turned out to be a pretty rainy day for setting up camp 🌧️

I guess that was to be expected, with Hector Backbone up in the clouds between Cayuga and Seneca Lake. Still I was hoping the rain would pull off this morning by the time I got to the Finger Lakes.

For the Love of Bacon didn’t have bacon 🥓 so I figured try out their sausages. I’m sure they’re probably pretty darn good. Did get some really surprisingly cheap New England clams which I cooked up with beer, mini onions and sweet corn.

Got camp set up. 🏕️ Twelve nights here through Labor Day aka September 1st. Seems at one level to be a long time but I also know I’ll be packing up and heading home on Labor Day before you know it. I’ve spent so much time in the Finger Lakes it seems so rediculously familiar like I barely left. I’m glad I’m planning on Michigan next year with my new truck 🚚. Lots of clams and beer today beer, sitting by a small fire 🔥. Sort of glad I brought the heater but actually it’s not that cold out, only wet but I could see mornings being somewhat cold. I had the room in the truck it would have been silly not to bring it. Already getting dark with it being late August, plus it’s a rainy night 🌃 and it’s 8:15.

Been listening to Patrick Hutchinson’s audio book 📙 Cabin during most of the afternoon. Interesting story. And just slowly but surely getting my camping gear packed and organized for what will be my longest camping trip of my life and also nearly two weeks through Labor Day.
