Gateway to the Forbidden Zone

This unmarked trail -- officially a prohibited trail -- is gated off, although I prefer to think of it as a horse tie down. It is however a public right of way, as Centerville Road was never undesignated by the Colonie Highway Department.

Still Some Snow

Bennett Hill still has some snow up top -- a few places with a foot or so of snow -- but those spots had 3-5 feet of snow on them, not that long ago.
