It's the second half of November as the label job I ran today reminds me. 🏷️ The landscape is cold and barren, it's dark out for a good portion of day, and riding home in the dark isn't much fun. But you make the best of it, and I figure the extra sleep and time to learn isn't a bad thing. 🛌 Next adventure after Thanksgiving! 🦃 Hopefully the fire risk is down by then as I want to have a big bonfire in wilderness 🔥 after a good day riding trail or hiking. 🚶

Nutton Hook – Coxsackie Ferry 1929

|

I was looking at the 1949 125k map of Albany earlier today, I noticed that there was a ferry from Coxsackie and Nutton Hook. So I found an 62.5k map, so I could get a closer view of the site further zoomed in. The Town of Stuyvensant historian reports that the ferry was in use until 1938.

Be Green! Smoke in Albany Pine Bush

Remember kids, this is the year you should be tossing your lit cigarette butts out of your car windows in an effort to support nature in the Albany Pine Bush, a fire dependent eco system. Do your part! Be green!
