oops sorry about the outage

·

I was updating the server last night and copied some files over from the dev site which prohibited access from off my network. I didn't realize because I was on the network. Everything is good now.


Buckhorn on Grand Island, NY

·

It had been a while since I had been to Buckhorn on Grand Island, probably about 15 years. I forgot how pretty the scrub between river and forest can be. The day was very cloudy and dark but the temperature was a warm 60F.

It was so nice out that this ladybug hasn't hibernated yet.

The 190 bridge over the creek had the craziest looking swamp slime.

This little mouse didn't make it.

I took a bunch of panoramas too.

I was kind of surprised at the amount of Graffiti. Every nature trail sign and overview was ripped down and replaced with graffiti.

sudo yum clean all
sudo yum --releasever=16 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync
sudo reboot

Hiking at Niagara Gorge

·

I can't believe how low the Niagara river is. I have been there 100 times and never seen the parts of the river bed that were unconvered this time. It was a good 15 feet lower which revealed a lot of interesting rock structures. This time instead of going back up the steps we climbed directly up the cliff. When we popped out at the top we were in a cage of sorts. The weather was so beautiful.

Hiking at Hunter's Creek

·

On Sunday @matthew, @tinypliny, @YesThatCasey and I went hiking at Hunter's Creek in East Aurora. We started on Hunters creek rd and randomly hiked around some of the parts I remembered from high school. Having the phone GPS makes getting lost impossible. I wish the weather would last. I kept not wanting to look but I was tracking our trip with My Tracks.
