Interpretive programs are offered year-round, including guided tours of the famous Indian Ladder Trail. There are over 25 additional miles of trails for summer hiking and mountain biking, and winter cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and snowmobiling.

It is basically March as far as Albany is concerned. Next week looks better but maybe not the second half of the week when I was hoping to get out of town. I actually am not sure if I will be able to get out of town next week due to a scheduling issue.

Rain and 42 degrees in Albany, NY. ☔ Calm wind.Temperatures will drop below freezing at Monday around 5 am. ☃️ I guess if I got to work on Saturday then it best be a miserable day. 🌅 No sunrise to watch this morning.
I think I’ll be heading home in a bit. 😴 I’m actually going to try to avoid sleeping too much in the day time so I don’t disrupt my sleep schedule today. I got some sleep last night and tonight I’ll certainly be in bed by eight 🛏 and really try to get caught up on sleep.
I don’t think I’m going to get to the transfer station today ♻ but probably next week if I don’t go camping 🏕. I don’t think I’m feeling up to driving 🚘 anywhere today until I get some sleep.
