Sun is Low

Even on a sunny day like Sunday it was hard to generate much solar power with the low sun angle.

Piseco-Powley Road Mile Points

|

This interactive map shows the location of each mile point heading north up Piseco-Powley Road from Stratford in the Adirondacks. It's handy if you trying to locate a trail head or just want to know about how far roughly north things are along the road.

For example, I had no idea that the Lower Powley Bridge is 6 miles north of Stratford -- it always seems like a bit of a trip up that rough road, but it's good to keep in context. Powley Place is 11 miles north, and ultimately the road ends at NY 8 at 18.6 miles further north.

Ferris Lake

Ferris Lake

Ferris Lake, despite being the name sake of this region, is actually one of the more challenging lakes to get back to. Not due to the terrain as much as the lake is surrounded by small streams and wetlands, and the best access to the lake is posted via the old road. The DEC has said they will eventually build a trail out to this lake in the Unit Management Plan, which has yet to be approved.
