This is no Featherstonhaugh Lake although it can be found at the state forest when you explore the old woods road off of Lake Road in forest.

Lake Road

It was a pleasant morning walking along Lake Road but much of this state forest is quite marshy so you will want your muck boots.

Police: Wires from explosive device dug up during Route 5 road work in Amsterdam – The Recorder

AMSTERDAM — Contractors working on Route 5 in the city of Amsterdam discovered wires from an explosive device during excavation today, city police said.

Crews working on a state Department of Transportation project to realign traffic on Route 5 discovered the wires during excavation across from the Riverfront Center, according to Det. Lt. Sal Megna, of the Amsterdam Police Department.

No explosive devices were observed at the site. The wires likely date back to when the road was first constructed. It was not immediately known if the device had been detonated in the past and the wires left behind or if the device remained under the ground, Megna said.
