Just a lazy Sunday ☀️

Wake and bake this morning, though doing both things lightly as I want to have a relaxed good day, wander around the woods, read a bit and hopefully not get too wet when the front comes through later today.

Warm and muggy today 😰 but that is expected to change for the balance of the week after the front comes through. Today is expected to be the last seventy degrees day up here on Hector’s Backbone through next weekend. It seems funny to think this is day five of vacation but NOAA forecasts only go out to next Saturday and I’m not leaving until a week from Monday on Labor Day. I’m wandering around by Potomac Ponds and some of the wildlife and mountain bike trails around there.

Its about taking it low and slow, 🐢 and enjoying the woods and nature 🪵🐸🐄 today and several other days of the week. Tomorrow I’ll go to Watkins Glen for supplies, maybe to float in Seneca Lake on the tube ⭕ if it’s not too cold and visit the Watkins Glen pool 🏊. Never got a fishing 🎣 pole or my licensed renewed I could do that too tomorrow. I tried topping off my bike 🚲 tire it’s not holding air well but I have a spare tube plus rubber patches to fix that. Maybe later today when I get back to camp.

Yesterday turned out to be a pretty amazing day 😀 once the skies got blue and my mind was cleared. Surprisingly hot and humid too. I’m glad I did the full Enfield Glen trail in Ithaca, it’s been years since I last done that. The swimming in Enfield Glen was so cold but the sun was hot ☀️ and I fell asleep on the beach. 🧴 Got a bottle of suntan lotion on Friday as I was pretty much out so I didn’t get burnt though at this point in the year the sun angle is lower end less likely to burn you. Then I went for a nice long paddle from the Alfred Treman boat launch, out on Cayuga Lake, up Falls Creek to where it comes too shallow and then the Cayuga Canal to under the bridges of the Octopus. .

Who knows how stormy the afternoon will be ⛈️ but my campsite is well drained for the most part and I’ll be back to camp before it gets bad out and can shelter either under the tarp or in the cap depending on the weather. 📚 Need to figure out what I want to read 📖 and relax. For the Love of Bacon didn’t have bacon 🥓 as they’ve not fired up the smoker since their farm vacation or at least bacon is curing so I got sausage which I’m gonna fry up with the kidney beans I cooked up before vacation and froze, along with summer squash.
