The Adirondack Northway

"The "Adirondack Northway" is the designation given to the current I-87 stretch from Albany to the Canadian border, running through Albany, Saratoga, Warren, Essex and Clinton counties in upstate New York. Commonly referred to as simply "the Northway," this interstate highway stretch was constructed through a series of extensions beginning in 1957 and lasting a decade until its final connection in 1967. The road to completion, however, was not a smooth one, and plans for the northernmost sections of the Adirondack Northway were met with much opposition."

Crossing The Northway

Until July 12, 1965 there was an at-grade railroad crossing near the Dolly Parton Bridge on the Adirondack Northway in Colonie. When a train would cross the Northway, the State Police would flip a traffic light to red and stop traffic in both directions to allow the train to cross the Northway.

I did not expect it to be so foggy and drizzling this morning. But still as morning light has come, I kind of like this campsite. It’s not Moose River Plains but the Jessup River is only a quarter mile away for fishing, lots of hiking opportunities, and I could go to Mason Lake, Indian Lake, or Lake Algonquin/Kunjamunk River for paddling.
