Heatwave! Or so they are promising next week. 🏊️ I'll believe it when I see it. The good news is black fly season is mostly over at this point, so it will make for some good weekends in the wilderness seeking out swimming holes and other places away from the city that aren't nearly as hot.

Hammond Pond

On the way back home, I stopped by Hammond Pond, which is what Hammond Pond Wild Forest is named after. I wasn't particularly impressed, the horseflies were bad, and I was tired so I only stopped briefly. Quick hike back on an old woods road from the parking area.

Peru, New York

Peru is a town in Clinton County in the U.S. state of New York. The population was 6,998 at the 2010 census. The town was so named for its views of the Adirondack Mountains to the west and the farmlands throughout the town, resembling scenery found in the country of Peru in South America.
