Camp
A simple, very open campsite for relaxing, near Speculator. No complaints there, although my cell service was a bit weak.

Swamped
The most odd sumner
The most odd summer 🏊
Between Coronavirus and the closure of the southern portion of Piseco Powley Road due to damage to the lower bridge its been the oddest of summers.
My default place of refuge during sweltering summer days – the Potholers got a lot farther away – and much more inconvenient to visit during the weekends while visiting state park pools and beaches became a lot less fun when one has to wear a mask.
At the same time, remote work blended vacation and work together. I could work via the library internet at small Adirondack towns and mobile broadband.
Some how when your camping and working it’s a very difficult experience than the normal 9-5 downtown, and with so much in the air I’ve been delaying my vacation for now. That said, I’ve forgotten how nice it is to have a day off in the woods and not have to do anything in particular.
Burn it!
I found this Kentucky farm store Facebook page and thought this video was quite hilarious.
Scientists Say the Moon Is Way Younger than We Thought
According to a sophisticated new model, the Moon is far younger than scientists previously thought — to the tune of some 85 million years.
It’s not such a drastic shift when you consider how long the Moon’s been around. The research, published Friday in the journal Science Advances, adjusts the age of the Moon from 4.51 billion years old to 4.425 billion, with 25-million-year-long error bars on either side. But it does clarify some of the mysteries surrounding how it formed in the first place.
