The last weekend of January the snow melted away at Partridge Run and I was able to drive out to Fawn Lake with little problem, except for the road being a little bit soft.
I hiked down to White Birch Pond, where in the shady side of the mountain there was a little bit of snow left.

Right now it's basically a snowmobile trail. You couldn't pay me to drive on this road with my pickup.

I had never noticed how detailed and beautiful the truss work is on this 1935-era bridge that continues to serve the people of the upper-Hudson Valley well.
