    are those the ones on Kettle Pond? As we were exploring the area, we noticed that Kettle Pond had a bunch of lean-tos that you could only access by paddling or hiking in.

    There was no cellular data at the campsite unless it was between midnight and 6:00 am so I didn't get to post during, but did want to post a couple of photos I got from the trip: Hiking up Washington (with my "adult" children) from Lakes of the Clouds: Fox lean-to in Big Deer State Park. Vermont has the best lean-tos, hands down. Glad we had it too, it rained 2 of the 3 nights we were camping, and one of them was a full on thunderstorm with at least an inch of heavy rain:

    Wow, what a find. Absolutely the quietest place I’ve ever been. Dead silent at night. I recommend.

    Had a window seat at Red Rose on Main Street when it went though and posted about the hail. just about everone in the restaurant was looking out the windows when it was whipping, it was quite exciting for a minute or two, there was quite a bit of foliage flying around from the wind and hail. Had a few route detours due to downed trees and emergency vehicle calls we had to navigate on way back from dinner.

    currently 77/75 in the 'hood, not a good day to work outside if you don't like being drenched in sweat

    Last year we stayed down by Killington in Gifford Woods. This year the kids wanted to check out the White Mtns. but NH camping options really lag Vermont in both quantity and quality, so picked a location where we could get there within about an hour's drive, and still be within easy reach of Burlington, which is always on my list when in the area.

    best deal ever, 140+ bucks cash tax free for a 200 mile round trip

    Lean-to at Big Dear next week Monday-Thursday. I was hoping to get an on-water lean-too at Ricker Pond but waited too long to make the reservation.

    me too, there is no cell service at the camp ground (kids are going to freak when they find out)

    58 in Groton, VT south of the campground

    they can present lots of information efficiently

    I don't have a home weather station, but have thought about how I would site one if I did. If they come with the ability to places the various sensors in different locations, I'd have the rain sensor in my garden, the temp and RH sensor in the back yard over the lawn where it is open to the sky but shaded by tall trees to the south, and the anemometer would go on the roof to get above the numerous trees and obstructions down at ground level.

    is it generally not acceptable to site a station on a slope?

    3+ more inches for the lawn, hoping that means the end of irrigation season (fingers crossed)
  22. Brewbeer
    after that 3 inches of rain mine started growing again

    Let’s hope not. 76/71, dewscusting out there right now

    humidity is great when you want to mow your lawn, get drenched in sweat, and then covered in grass clippings ejected from the mower
  25. Brewbeer
    humidity is great for plants and if you are in the pool or sitting absolutely still, otherwise it blows
