Tight Squeeze

Driving past an excavator which is taking up a lot of room on a rural road in Schuyler County.

Whitehouse to My Campsite

This past weekend I camped about 1 mile from the wilderness boundary and 1 mile from Whitehouse on West River Road. This well maintained road has been proposed to be closed for at least 40 years, but it's still a nice drive to many popular campsites.

Quiet Paddle Along Auger Flats

Often over looked, Auger Flats is a 2-3 mile flat water on the Sacandaga River, north of Auger Falls. To access it, you drive to the Auger Falls Parking Area, then head to the back of the parking area, and to a trail that leads to the quiet section of the Sacandaga River. From there, you have at least 9/10th of a mile paddle before the first portage, and probably can go about two miles beyond that before it becomes rapids again.
