On the state land along the east side, there are several clearings where there once where extra campsites developed. These areas, besides the section where the road runs right on the edge of the lake, gives you a good view of Ross Mountain, and just out of the frame, Mount Blue.

I sure hope so. It takes a long time for things to really green up in the Adirondacks as it is colder up here then down in lower elevations.

Mid-day Saturday traffic was light on NY 8, it's not like on weekdays, especially in the afternoon into the evening with truck and car traffic heading from Central NY to Adirondack Northway, Vermont, Gore Mountain, etc.

I had never been down in the gorge below Auger Falls, well at least from the East Side (bushwhack from Forks Mountain Trail).
I had walked along the Scanadaga River from the west side up Old Route 8A (now a snowmobile trail) but never hiked down from the east side all the way from the gorge. While the views are better from the west side, but from the east side (via Griffin) you almost never run into up there.
