Got here around a little after eleven o’clock which isn’t bad from Albany figuring a stop to get bacon, gas, farm stand items and a pee break and getting off a few exits early on 88 in favor of NY 7, plus stopping at the Ulysses library a bit to work.

It’s nice to be out in the Finger Lakes. 🏕 It’s great to look around camp, knowing this place is going to be home for the next 9 nights. Today is June 26th and my vacation ends August 4th. Seems like a long time but it will most certainly be over in the blink of an eye 👁‍🗨.

That said, it’s nice to set up camp and know it will be home for the next 9 nights. 🏡 Really have a lot of reason to set up perfectly. It’s not a site I’ve camped on before but it’s a nice site if not a bit small. I like where the hammock sits on a hill overlooking the campsite with broken views of the pasture. Not a lot of room for a tent unless you set it up father back in the woods.

The woods is so pretty and colorful. 🌲 Some of it was from the smoke 🚬 but it was as much that as it’s exceptionally beautiful day with deep blue skies but a little bit of distant haze to the west from wildfires. Almost a bit cool, might want to put on jeans before I go out star gazing in the evening. ✨ Going to ride a bit of Interloken Trail this evening, 🚲, maybe watch the sunset and then head back to camp 🏕. Also want to have a fire and listen to some podcasts tonight and maybe stay up late. Tomorrow I’ll probably spend in Watkins Glen, kayaking 🛶 on Seneca Lake then maybe a swim at Watkins Glen, ride along Stone Cabin Road and then get ice cream. 🍦 Then back to camp as I want to get up early Sunday to head to Pennsylvania to ride the Pine Creek Gorge Trail.
