Had a really enjoyable time on Grandpa’s pontoon boat for a few hours on Saturday afternoon…

Gone Camping!

Technically, I have one day of work left but likely won’t get a chance to blog tomorrow as we’ll leave immediately after work. (And who wouldn’t be in a hurry to get to this place?!?)

(@Imposter_Edits) March 28, 2022 This video clip is insane (and sad – apparently five people died as a result of this multi-car pile-up in Pennsylvania when a snow squall blew in suddenly.)
