Great day after a tough night. It was in the 70’s and humid last night and I just couldn’t slee.. I was having razy dreams about work.. so I got out of bed and spent a few peaceful hours programming. I got my arduino processor speaking thought its new GSM modem.. so I can send SMS msgs from it. It’s kind of a crossover project between hobby interests and work. Gotta love that.

Around 3:30 i was able to go back to sleep and managed to sleep pretty late.. so i woke up moderately rested, but restless.. the best thing to do for that is exercise.. I was in luck, Diane was up for a hike.. so we called Betsy, Fritz and Martha, loaded them and the dogs in the car and headed up to Moscow. Our goal was to do the Lake Mansfield trail up to Taylor lodge.. where we spent our first night backpacking a few weeks back. .

 

I say it was our goal.. but we managed to loose the trail about a mile and a half in.. we found some signs pointing us towards the ‘D.E. Trail (sounds like a work career path)… and the ‘Kingsford trail’.. but never found the taylor lodge..trail.. has anyone been up there and found the way ?

The grls love going in the streams then rolling in the ferns. is there any more joyful thing than a dog rolling ?

speakign of dogs.. we met this girl on the trail. .her name is Abby we had a dog named Abby when I was really young in Texas.

I placed a samstone there.. just as we figured out we didn’t know where we were.

I have happy feet when I’m out in the woods.. so nice to be getting the most out of this beautiful Vermont summer..

Enough of the heat though please.. I’m ready for snow !

Ahh.. one more summer pleasure.. home grown tomatoes…

I do love it here..

ok.. off to the Racht-Cambells for their graduation/birthday/retirement party.. more on that tomorrow

nite all, nite sam
