Today after the morning rush I’m heading downtown for my Tuesday meetings. 💼 Yeah, I got to shave and look a little less like a dirty hick for a few hours. 🚿At least I have a comfortable Jackson mask to wear. 😷 I’m not going to John Wolcott house after work today, 👀 as he is having eye surgery or at least his pupils dilated and while I can use Google Translate 🔠, I doesn’t work well on Old Dutch hand writing.

The leaves have gotten really colorful around camp 🍂and are really starting to fall. With the rain and inevitable wind over the next few days I’m sure most of them will be gone by next weekend although that’s not at all surprising for the Adirondacks.

I am thinking about hiking Pillsbury Mountain today or going back to Pillsbury Lake ⛰️ but I’m afraid that the firetower will be crowded and no parking up there. I might park at Sled Harbor 🅿 and walk from there – the dreary weather might decrease the popularity. The thing is that I don’t know that many very scenic hikes around here that aren’t really popular that I haven’t done a million times before. 👪 I just spend a lot of time up here because I have decent cellphone and internet access in this area for work.
