Good morning on this second day of autumn. Not much evidence of colors changing at this point but that’s not unusual in the city. It was 48 degrees when I awoke but already up to 54 degrees and will climb to 76 degrees by afternoon. The midpoint in the day is 12:46 PM as we get closer to having days where the nights are longer than the days.

This weekend is Moosefest in Indian Lake. Going up there with Mom and Dad. I hope the colors are nice up at Moose River Plains. It gets cold and snowy up there early most years, which is why a 4×4 or snow chains are required come October.

Starting to look half seriously about going down to the Dolly Sands portion of West Virginia. I need to figure out where I will camp mid-state Pennsylvania but this is the year to do it with low gas prices and the free time at work to do it. I bet West Virginia is a  very different state then New York but then again Appalachia is likely the same wherever you go.
