Getting away this weekend for some rest and relaxation in the wilderness. πŸ•οΈ Hoping for a mostly rain-free weekend, but I'll take whatever the weatherman gives. πŸ˜ƒ And then it's just cruising into Memorial Day πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²Weekend and kicking off. ⭕️ I was looking at the tube and thinking it won't be long before I'm floating down the East Canada Creek. πŸ–οΈ

Within a 10 Minute Walk to a Supermarket

Within a 10 Minute Walk to a Supermarket

If you don't own a car, there is only a few parts of Albany where you can walk a short distance to get to a supermarket.

Green areas are those within a 10 minute walk of a major supermarket -- Price Chopper, Hannaford, Tops, Shop-Rite, or Walmart.

Below NY 8 Bleeds

I noticed that the hillside below the modern NY 8 cut and fill near Auger Falls is bleeding red. I assume it's iron eating bacteria, from cutting and filling in part of the hillside as part of the 1968 bypass of Old Route 8A. Too red to be acid mine drainage, which is uncommon in Adirondacks unlike Appalachia.
