It’s a nice afternoon today

I thought about camping but decided against it with the deep snow along Route 8 in the Adirondacks and in Madison County. The sun through the trees is quite pretty, and the days are getting longer but it is a while until things will really dry out and be nice for nights in the wilderness. But with the time change in two weeks, the nights will be longer and maybe than I can get up to the wilderness for a night or two.

Definitely a nice day at Schodack Island State Park

Definitely a nice day at Schodack Island State Park.

Earlier in the day I was at the Save the Pine Bush Hike but I decided to come here to enjoy the river and because I’ve been a lot in the Pine Bush lately and the best time to explore the woods is either in the morning or late afternoon.

I like the drive over to Rennselear and down along 9J with the river mud flats interspersed with farm fields. This area is rural but industrial, it’s kind of a working landscape. Schodack Island is also a great place to watch the birds and later on I can gas up the truck, wash the salt off it, and get groceries at Wal-Mart.
