As a favor for a close friend who is moving, I photographed and put up for sale the pictured telescope. The rest of the day was split between eradicating a bumper crop of poison ivy located in the woods at the edge of our property and shopping for the few remaining items needed to complete my car camping setup.  Jeanine and I will be driving down to North Carolina for a family reunion at the end of the month and plan to visit the Great Smoky Mountain and Shenandoah National Parks.
