We awoke to gray and rainy skies. Threw some bags and other items in the car and started north up the Thruway. The rain slowly let up and by the time we reached Kingston, it had stopped and the skies began to clear. After a quick break for some tasty fresh baked goods at Bread Alone, we stopped and unloaded a few things at the house and got to Plattepalooza at 1 and it was already sunny with the last bit of overcast skies burning away:

After catching up with some good friends, we ate some lunch on the deck. Then it was time to hop on the triple for a quick ride to the top. Then a walk staight down The Face trail, under the lift was a great way to cap off the afternoon.

It was a nice, crisp, cool night and the next day dawned bright and clear. The view off the deck of the Bearpen Mountain ridgeline:

My 8 year old summed up the day and weekend by saying that “It felt so good to be back at our 2nd home, Plattekill!!”
