I was looking at the CDTA Blue Line 923 and was thinking it might be fun to one night take it up to Waterford and walk around Peebles Island State Park in the evening, while there is still a lot of light left in the evenings. Would only cost $1.30 with my bus pass over the normal daily fare, and would be a chance to get up there without spending a lot on gas for my big jacked up truck.

Low Head Dams Are Dangerous
The reds of the maple highlight the danger that low head dams pose to kayakers and wildlife. This dam probably exists to provide water to canal, or maybe it's historical. I don't know, but looking from upstream, you would never realize there is a dam there except for some warning sides. That said, the Mohawk is a mix of rapids and falls around Peebles Island.

The reds and yellows of the trees framed the landscape as I looked out at Harmony Mills and Cohoes from Peebles Island.

While often crowded during the beautiful weather on Saturday, Peebles Island did offer a chance to enjoy some solitude walking in the park.

Talk about a nice afternoon. Sunny and 56 degrees at the Peebles Island State Park. 🌞 There is a west-northwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃.
At sunset, look for clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 52 degrees. There will be a calm wind.
Canvassing for David Bissember went well, and now I’m out hiking at Pebbles Island. 🚶Nice afternoon but daylight is burning and there are many people here. But with a sweater on I expect it to be a very pleasant evening. 🎃
