Good evening! Partly cloudy and 73 degrees in Burdett. There is a west breeze at 7 mph. The dew point is 67 degrees. A damp evening in the woods, listening to the Democratic National Convention. I find the speakers are fairly convincing but then again I’m a democrat. 

It was a rather rainy day with blue skies in between the rain showers. I drove to Watkins Glen and the sky opened up and started to pour. I went to the Watkins Glen library and played on the Internet to wait out the storm. Once the rain stopped, I hiked Watkins Glen which was the beautiful with the fog, and not very crowded. Then went for a dip in the Watkins Glen pool, took a shower picked up some groceries and returned to camp. Cooked dinner and are now listening to the DNC.
