Piseco-Powley Road

Stretching from Stratford to Piseco, Piseco-Powley Road winds along the western edge of one of the last remaining old Adirondack dirt roads. Lined with venerable spruce trees, some nearly brushing against the road, it offers a glimpse of nature’s untouched beauty. The tranquil West Branch of the East Canada Creek intersects Powley Road at Powley Place. This spot is positioned 8 miles southwest of Piseco Outlet, where NY 10 crosses, and approximately 7.5 miles from the point Piseco-Powley Road branches off from NY 10. When approached from the south, Powley Place is found 10.5 miles northeast from Stratford via Piseco Road. Notably, this area hosts four campsites, forming part of the 22 designated camping spots along Piseco-Powley Road, enhancing the allure of this picturesque route.

Work Continues On Brayhouse Brook Crossing

Coming back to the Potholers, I noted that Arietta has brought in an excavataotor and is hardening the crossing over Brayhouse Brook. They've added additional ourse rock, and have lined the edges of the culvert with heavy boulders. They've also done additional repairs to their section of the road just to south of the Potholers. I've been told that Stratford is working on repairing their bridge and will be re-grading their section of road in the coming weeks, to prepare the road for full opening by the start of hunting season on September 1st.

Patched

I patched the hole in my screen tent. It's ugly but works well.
