Another sunny beautiful fall day. We know we’ve got rain coming in the weather will be getting colder so we wanted to take on as much more of the beautiful fall leaves as we can .. 

Today we started the catamount Trail north of I $.89. It’s down a little tiny road called Pineo Brook… It’s a private road and landowners and super excited about Hikers… But he’s letting us do it. We hiked up about 2 1/2 miles on the trail up to assure rock face when we saw some people climbing. It’s just beautiful

Heading back to work tomorrow after a full week out… Having the kids here saying goodbye to Charlie… It’s going to feel weird being back at work… But I’m looking forward to it

Nite all, nite sam

The big event for the day is that ‘Diane and I both Filled in our mail in ballots…

We were amazed to see how many people were actually running for president.… Kanye West? Really… And the boiling frog party ?!

Please stop right now and go fill in your ballot and get it in the mail. We’ve got to change the course the country is on. And your vote matters

Otherwise it was a quiet day

The day started out rainy but turned beautiful. Diane and I did a 6 mile hike in Huntington at Trapp Road onto catamount Trail and then up to a pond that we bushwhacked up towards. I really enjoyed being out in the fall foliage Last night the area because it’s for snow.… Camels hump was covered in snow I will probably stay that way until May

Ok time for a bath !

Today was the first day with an empty house and no dogs. I’ve been a doggy daddy for 17 years and it feels so strange to be without that now.

We’re really missing our four legged girls

Nite all, nite Sam

The day began very early. Max and Becky had a 7:30 AM flight out… I woke up at 5:30 to help them get out of the house. It’s been so great seeing them

I managed to get back to sleep and manage to sleep until 930!… Diane had already been out to Boot Camp and back by the time I woke up.… We took GabÉ and Sammantha to meet their flight around 12

It has been a really great visit from both boys and their partners.… It was very sad saying goodbye to try… So it was really nice to be able to do it all together. I know she felt loved. We were so grateful to be able to spend that time with our family. We’re going to quarantine now for a while and then get Covid tests

After dropping off GabÉ and Sammantha, Diane and I headed out for a hike in a beautiful fall weather. We knew it would be a little weird going home to an empty house… With no kids and no dogs so we went to our happy place which was outdoors

We took a Really beautiful seven Mile hike around Little River State Park… We took hedgehog hill… Which reminded us of Satori’s Favorite toy “Hedgy” Then I Rick or mountain back to Kelty corners and then up around the daily loop it was gorgeous and it was very good for our souls

We just finished watching parts of both of the presidential candidates Townhall. What a circus… I’m actually Happy to see Biden be so approachable. I like him a lot

OK… Enough for now. Time to sleep

Nite all, nite sam
