Despite my very isolated campsite I actually have a few bars of ATT service AND I remembered to bring my iPad so have the convenience of it’s Bluetooth keyboard. It is 7:15 pm and I am settled in Scrat after a long day.
I drove from home to the campground (10am-3pm) via the NYS thruway to Amsterdam and then cut through the southern edge of Adirondacks to Corinth, a small town on the Hudson where it exits the Adirondacks and heads towards Albany.
The thruway was very crowded between Buffalo and Syracuse but after that not too bad. I listened to a spy novel audiobook “The English Assassin” which made the time go quickly.
It was another hour north-east to get to Hague which is on Lake George but on the north western edge of lake about 20 miles north of the actual town of Lake George.
I picked up my registration packet and very nice t-shirt and got to eyeball the course and the area (which I wanted to do as will be dark probably when I get there in morning at 6:30).
After getting some gas and food in Bolton Landing I headed back to campsite. It is a place I found via HipCamp which is an app for campsites, some are large commercial ones but others just a random farm or beach house where they let a few people camp for nominal fees. This one is in between, it has a nice lake and space for a few dozen big campers but I am in the “tent” area which is up in the woods and completely rustic.
It is 8pm now and starting to get dark, I will listen to the Yankee game on the MLB phone app and read my book a little. I am reading “Skeletons on the Zahara” a true story of a New England ship that wrecked on the West African coast in 1816.
Good on the tee shirt 👍🏼
Sounds like an awesome day, David
