It seems weird to be thinking about Memorial Day Weekend already, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡² but it's the weekend after the next one. But even if this weekend isn't perfect, I really am hopeful to get away just to spend some time in the wilderness and recharge my soul. 😎 Sunday still looks great, I am hopeful I can spend the balance of the day riding and exploring the countryside. 🚜

Rainy Hump Day 🌧️

Maybe it will get it out of the system come the weekend,β˜” or so I tell myself. 🚍 Bussing it to work early so I can walk 🚢 the Concourse for an hour before catching the shuttle πŸš€ the rest of the way to work. I think it’s raining a bit too much to ride in or even walk from the Plaza to my office 🏒 in Menands.

The irony of it is today would be the last day I could ride to work 🚲 as tomorrow I have the Pine Bush Hike that I’m leading πŸ¦‹ and Friday is the getaway day so I’m driving 🚘 in to leave for camp β›Ί from work. The forecast for the weekend isn’t vtt great but I’m hoping for not a washout on Saturday and that Sunday will be nice for the Catskill Scenic Trail. β˜€ I mean NOAA says partially sunny, so how bad can it be?

My phone πŸ“± touch screen is only becoming more and more marginal, but I will probably wait until next week to replace it. That said irs super obnoxious when it starts typing gibberish when I’m just trying to open an application. I’ve gotten nearly three years out of this phone so I can’t complain too much.

Home For The Weekend

Home sweet home in the truck camping shell up on Branch Pond, with lots of sun for the solar. I could have easily stayed park here all weekend but on Sunday I decided to drive over to Grout Pond.
