String cheese πŸ§€

The other day I bought some string cheese at Wally World. I hadn’t had string cheese in years, maybe because too many times as a kid it got kind of warm and the oils worked its way out of it. But I was reading that string cheese is just mozerella cheese and made from real milk and its actually a pretty delicious treat. I don’t like how it is individually wrapped in plastic but I figured I was going to have a fire so as long as I picked up the wrappers and made sure it got burnt it was fine.

First car at Watch Hill πŸ—»πŸ‚

This morning at 9:30 I was the first car at the Watch Hill Parking Area on this beautiful autumn morning. While I passed somebody walking their dog on Old Route 30, I haven’t seen another person. While I bet the Snowy Mountain parking lot is packed like much of the high peaks, I’m enjoying the solitude and beautiful views of Snowy Mountain and Lewey and Indian Lakes from this largely wilderness peak, that the state has put a lot of money into promoting and developing trails on but few people ever visit.
