Robb Creek Mill Campsite

I believe is the infamous campsite, which is located on the Sacandaga River near where Robb Creek runs into it. But regardless, it is a beautiful tent site on the river, a short driveway down from the Old Route 8B.

Murphy Farm

As seen along the Catskill Scenic Trail. They had some very big and noisy geese on that farm that were quacking up a storm as I walked past on the rail trail.
