My bags are packed

I was so anxious about this trip probably because I am overtired, as I slept poorly last night. But tomorrow it’s actually happening, I am leaving work  at 3 PM.

First thing I noted was gas was cheap – $3.02 a gallon but avocado’s were expensive. Thanks Trump. Only needed about $70 in groceries but I think I was pretty much good on camping supplies and just needed a partial restock of my pantry before heading north. Got $40 from the bank so I had some money to get bacon from For the Love of Bacon on my way up to the Adirondacks. Going to grab a few pallets if I have enough room, though my truck is kind of packed with the camping gear plus the burnables I plan to burn that accumulated over the winter – lots of wrappers and paper for fire starting and burning. Would have brought more, but the stuff that isn’t confidential I guess the recycling man can get.

Going to be off the grid for a few days, which is great though it’s pretty remote country. But I’ll be fine, I always am. Going to rain a lot on Friday night into Saturday but Friday and Sunday look pretty good for the bulk of the day, and Saturday I can maybe smoke some pot and do some reading and fishing in the rain on the East Branch. Brining the mountain bike and I’ll ride on Sunday around the Perkins Clearing, do some fishing and then I was thinking I would drive back to Rotterdam Junction by 4 or 5 PM and ride the Erie Canal Trail until dusk and then come home and unpack. Get groceries and do my laundry on Monday night after work. I am so excited to be heading back up to the remote wilderness again!
