hiking recovery

When you get back from a campout weekend, you feel like you're floating. I took Tuesday off, and went hiking with e:Paul up at the gorge trail. I was exhausted so laying at the rocks down by the rapids was very nice The State Parks recently redid the shelter at the Whirlpool trail parking lot. The bathrooms are super nice. One big all gender bathroom, floor to ceiling cubicle stalls, very clean. It's weird but I was very impressed. Later we had too much dinner at falafel bar.

Honcho Campout 2024

Hemlock Hole, conveniently cropped I'm still over the moon from campout this year. This was probably my favorite year, though I think I say that every year. This year, we had managed to convince e:mike and e:libertad to join us, despite Mike's strict anti-camping stance. I'll leave it to him to say if we changed his mind or not. Just like the first time we went to Campout e:joe,60626, 8 years ago in West Viriginia, the fur, butts and human soup still exists, only on a scale 5 times as big. I actually had two people this year tell me they came across this blog searching it. So if you come across this and are on the fence, go. It's life changing. We went down early for us, 10am on Wednesday the 14th. 219, Twisty Pennsylvanian roads, annual Chipotle and Sheetz, and we were there. Setting up in the light for once, in the Central camp. It was so crowded already, I think I want to move to the festival suburbs next year. Wednesday night is very chill with no music. Just sort of people

happy birthday Denise and Alex

A weekend of buddy buddy, followed by the parade and festival with the family. My favorite weekend of the year.

Snowvember 2022

joe - 11/20/2022 10:47AM

So we didn't get the 6+ feet the south towns got but we definitely got 3 feet between pong night Thursday night and today. I spent most of yesterday clearing all the snow from our house down to North since the Ascension for the Arts group doesn't shovel or snowblow. I felt sore but pretty buff by the end.

My favorite place ever. Probably our fifth time down this summer, the water is so low.

Igloo builders

Another birthday weekend. This time for our friend's Shane and Alex. Igloos were constructed, a whole snow neighborhood was gentrified and I fell in love with Jan Magnuson, sporty-short dog trainer.

B-Sides on Chippewa

A chicken finger restaurant by the owners of Bacchus in the old Mighty Taco. They had a fried vegan sandwich - could use some more flavor, but otherwise nice to be out for lunch like it's 2017.
