    Spent a couple days at my folks before going camping with my friend Jeff in the ADKs.  Thursday was low key, drove from Belleville, via Lowville, thru Old Forge to Inlet NY and Limekiln campground. From there I entered the Moose River Plains after airing down my tires from 30psi to 20. The roads are in good shape, but there are protruding rocks, so airing down makes the ride more comfy. Took about an hour to get to Wakely Dam from Limekiln, and Jeff had already found a primo site by the time I got there. We didn't move around, just stayed at that site over the weekend. On the drive in, I saw quite a few of the heavy duty hunter lodge kind of tents. The ones that almost look like buildings and have mini wood stoves in them.

Also cleanedup some of the previous wiring near the driver side taillight, so the water wouldn't get to it. updated the strap that I use to gently lower/raise the tailgate when I enter/leave the tent via the truck bed (usually do that when the weather is bad). and I added a few more bolts with 8mm roller skate bearings to help support the 2nd upper drawer when it's fully extended. see photos here, click here
