I have Thursday and Friday off from work. It was granted today. I’m going to stay in town and work on mounting the solar panel on the truck and get that wired up hopefully.:) That and I just need a break after working so much recently. No camping this weekend.

I’m leaning towards Kelly Stand again for the holiday weekend but only if it’s nice.β›Ί If the forecast looks cloudy and rainy I’m staying home as I’m getting tired of camping in cold and wet weather. Black Flies are typically bad this time of year. Pumpkin Hollow in Wells is another good possibility or camping again along NY 8. We’ll see.
