Yosemite

Departed the operating system for the actual place. Week staying at Tioga Pass. Smoky for the first couple of days, it rained, we went to the valley, returned and it was clear the rest of the week. There was pie, rising up singing, stars and walks in the woods. The woods looked like they need a vacation too.

“Currently Listening” now a standalone page. Big whoop.

The monitors of this page may or may not care, but the real-time feed of ear input is now available as a standalone app-like web thingamabob. Available on the main blog Spew menu, but directly available here. Now you can avoid any of the nonsense on these pages and just keep a little tiny window updating on your preferred device… OK, I did this for myself as no one monitors this page, but stay tuned as it is a harbinger of usefulness to follow.

Stork’s Nest to Colgate Lake via Dutcher’s Notch


Looking for a walk before waiting around in Hudson, decided to do the quickest (for me) entry to the Catskill Park via Stork’s Nest Rd. Instead of going up Blackhead or over to North Point, went straight down to the Colgate Lake parking area. Some decent hemlock stands and a nice views of Blackhead from the valley made the 13 mile round trip worth doing.
