Old Stop Danger Sign!

|

I was afraid it was lost when the new bridge was put in as part of the new trail, but the sign was merely relocated to accomodiate the trail. It's good to see this part of the Pine Bush History Preserved.

Over the Old Dam

I bet John Wolcott would have liked that they saved the old dam hit by the meteorite, and put a bridge by where the old bridge and road was, and kept the famous DANGER STOP DANGER sign relocated to the other side of the bridge. I was afraid it was gone but they just relocated the sign so it's easier to see from the trail.

I took most of these pictures on Saturday, as I was hiking along the Blue Trail in the Albany Pine Bush. It was a remarkably nice afternoon out there.
