To make it home by sunset π
That’s pretty late this time of year being it’s close to the first day of summer but it should give me enough time to unpack and possibly shower before retiring to bed and heading off to work tomorrow.
I’m playing the game βοΈ how long can I delay taking down camp before the next thunderstorm rolls on through. I’m hoping the flags π and screen tent πͺ will dry out in the sun β when it peaks out before the certain rain this afternoon.
I’d like to paddle Lily Lake πͺ·today but I have little faith that I will be able to do that without thunderstorms this afternoon. I did get to kayak πΆ the Sacandaga River and Lake Pleasant on Juneteenth so not a total wash but I was hoping to see the lilies. While I wait for things to finish drying out β, I’m going to float on the East Canada Creek in my tube for a while then maybe by then the flags and screen tent will be dry and then I can take them down. Then I’ll decide if the skies call for leaving for Stewart Landing to paddle up to Lily Lake – got my doubts – or spend some more time at the Potholers. I kind of are not in a rush to get back on the grid and deal with all the work crap π© I’ve missed while away.
In the afternoon to the evening π², I am thinking about heading down to Canajahorie and riding the Canal Trail west towards Little Falls. That’s a section I’ve never done and once you get past Fort Plain 5S and the Thruway head up into the hills and it should be quiet π€« and remote along that section of the Mohawk. Plus maybe ride around and explore Canajahorie. I wonder how that hick town Chinese place is in town. π
Yesterday was a day of sunshine and rain showers. π¦οΈ Cool but not so cold. Did a lot of reading π in the morning, the afternoon at the Potholers and floating in the tube. βοΈ Had a nice for a while in the evening π₯, in part because it was kind of a cold and damp evening.
