This June I’ve been thinking about places I want to go now that it’s gotten hot out and summer is underway … 🏕

Schoharie County

The next two weekends are the Gas Up. The Mine Kill Pool opens on July 1st. Strawberries and so many other good things from farm stands in Schoharie Valley. Camp up at Burnt-Rossman State Forest, maybe connect up with some of my buddies out that way. Maybe do some fishing.

Madison County

I have been biting to get out for another paddle on the Nine Mile Swamp. I also think a hike along Chenango Canal again would be delightful as long as it’s not ungodly hot. Also some bird watching and fishing in Sherbune at the Rogers Center. Of course if it’s hot, the beach at Glimmerglass Park might be nice.

Black River Valley

I haven’t been to the Black River Valley in about 5 years and it would be fun to spend a long weekend out that way in the Otter Creek Area, and meet up with some friends and poke around the Western Adirondacks.

Piseco-Powley Road

The Potholers of course. But also just a quiet, maybe extended weekend off the grid would be nice. I do like that swimming hole at House Pond Campsite, and some of the other hikes. And just relaxing and being off-the-grid for a few days. Maybe do clams in beer, that was so good that one hot summer weekend down at the House Pond Campsite.
