275626 Tony Seo 2022‑05‑21 Jacktown Blue Mountain PA Spring April 2022 Flea Market Day 2
I went back this morning after a quick an unproductive stop at the local
flea market.  The weather was foggy and 62F, but afternoon temps are
supposed to get up to 90F.

There was fog over the field when I arrived.

There were lots of tools there and the occasional old blacksmith type
guy selling them.

We had a band of very heavy thunderstorms come through yesterday
afternoon and early evening and everywhere was very muddy.  Of course,
everybody was saying, "It wouldn't be Jacktown, without mud."

The back field was pretty full today.

Best single day load I've had in a while and the old knapsack weighed
about 35 lbs loaded, which I will be feeling tomorrow...sigh
