Good morning folks! 😊I hope your Saturday is going well and you are healthy. This morning started out with rain ☔ and now it’s been breaks of sunshine ☀ and blue skies but mostly pretty gray. ☁️ Definitely late November here in the woods although it’s pretty nice sitting down by the heater. A little bit of sunshine though could go a long ways. I heard later it was supposed to clear out.

I have to say it is kind of cold and damp morning ♨ and it would have been downright chilly if not for the Big Buddy Heater to warm myself. 🔥 I guess I could have started a fire to warm myself but fires are smoky and smelly compared to sitting by the heater which you just switch on.

Last night that lantern 🏮 was super bright 🔆 except at the lowest setting. I’m hoping with the propane filter on it the preformance will remain high and not super smokey or dim. I think it’s the plasticizers on the propane hose that clog things up. I am hoping between using the propane tree and the filter I will have years of bright light as neccesary here at camp.

I am thinking that it will clear out later in the day 🌤️and I’ll hike up to the Potholers. After looking at the forecast yesterday I don’t have any great expectations for today but it’s good to get away, if only because it means I’m fully off the internet for a few days.
